I agree with your perspective.

While I don’t think pair programming is effective – I am also surprised at how *little* developers ask others to review their code. To me, it makes a lot of sense to have a friendly 1on1 code review every once in a while, and certainly before submitting to QA!

Sometimes the developers shared a single terminal and sometimes they were physically separated and used NetMeeting. The effort seems to have faded as we always have more work then people available to do it. My own thoughts are that the XP model itself is a little flawed by the thinking that if a little of something is good a lot of it will be great. This philosophy is right there in the name: eXtreme. Whatever happened to the old quote “Moderation in all things?”
