What are your thoughts/experiences with pair programming (with humans)? I've never done it. I always fund the idea of it quite wasteful. I find code reviews significantly better since they're asynchronous, can involve more than two people and it all gets documented so knowledge transfer is significantly higher than pair programming.

Early on I was at shops that mandated pairing at almost all times. We joked that the main benefit of it was that we could bill twice as much. I agree with you in that whatever training benefits it has are eroded by the lack of a written record. These days I tend to make a small document or repository and then we might have a quick meeting going over that.
