The OP clearly doesn't believe that he has a responsibility to teach those around him to be better. Imagine that you were the CEO of a company that had one great programmer and four average ones. Don't you think the CEO would want the great one to spread some of his/her knowledge? Now, imagine you were one of the four average developers, wouldn't it seem crazy that you sit three feet away from a great developer but never learn anything from him/her? Do we want this to be an industry where only the self taught succeed? I don't. I believe there are still some things that I can learn from others. I believe I am obligated to help those around me get better- it should be part of the job description. Pair programming, if it does nothing else, does open up what is normally a solitary activity and gives people a chance to learn from others. |
