Pair programming reminds me slightly of chavrusa, the switching off of who's driving, and the intense discussions when stuck.

They also both serve as a very powerful learning experiences, sharing the struggle, and then learning how the other person solves problem.

Another characteristic pair programming and learning in chavrusa share is you can't do a threesome. If you are in a conversation with one person and they say something you know its for you. Some how this makes it easier to track a conversation while tackling an intellectually challenging task.
