Pair programming fixes the turnover problem
3 comments

It trades it for the problem: convince people to pair program.
How? High turnover + pair programming = paying significant amounts of money to upskill your staff who then leave.

It is no different to simply investing in a lot of employee training. Yes you keep the knowledge... But you are paying far more than if you just paid your staff enough to stay.

How is that related at all?

(If my company forced us to pair program, I'd leave in a heartbeat.)
