What dogmatic BS. Saying always is as naive as saying never. The bottom line is coming to consensus always takes longer than not but doesn't always add value. Certainly, it does some of the time, which is when we should pair. Breaking up and coordinating the work is an overhead working alone doesn't require. Sometimes it's worth it, sometimes the coordination is almost as much effort as the work.

@ At times, yes, but many times, it clearly does not. A lot of times it's just work. Someone has to write the rest endpoint and some queries. Having to come to a consensus about doing the DB vs controller first, etc, is not adding value in understanding. It's just a workflow preference. But now its a problem we have to solve just to move forward with the 'obvious' task.
