I think once a month you should pair program randomly with someone. I think programming effectively involves combining thinking in the large and implementing in the small. Ive found that occasional pair programming teaches me new keyboard shortcuts, tools, workflows, idioms and when pair programming with a great programmer also gives me a very clear feedback that much remains to be learnt. In short Ive found that pair programming is great about teaching me about 'implementing in the small'
