It's much more intense than working on your own. If you consider the quality and the learning that is going on, it is obvious why it is so tiring. The more you do, the easier it gets. You build up a tolerance and it is valuable. Pairing is tiring. It’s much more intense than working on your own.

I find it a bit frustrating to share a keyboard and mouse. I suspect there are advantages, but I've not had the same experience. I type at the speed of thought so interruptions in the process compete with my patience. Glad you're happy with it. Ideally. I find it a bit frustrating to share a keyboard and mouse.
