In general I agree but with a caveat: for me it's draining when there is a big difference in thought speed/way of thinking between me and my peer. If I'm with someone "on the same page" we can achieve awesome results, but if OTOH I have to explain why my brain just jumped to that other part, give context etc this is terribly draining for me as well, and after a 2 hours session I'm out for 2-3 hours when I need to recharge.

Yeah, I find it specially frustrating to do it with a slow reader. Like, in 2 seconds I can scan the page and see that what I need isn't there, and the other person is there taking like 1 minute to read everything... Or the opposite, there is the keyword jumping at my eyes and the other person takes so long to even find it. There's also the whole issue of the person not wanting to discuss about anything deeper other than the task immediately at hand.

But when I do with someone faster and that actually likes to discuss the implications, philosophy behind what we're doing it's amazing
