Strongly agreed. Over the years the time I have spent running, cycling, walking, hiking have all been incredibly important catalysts for the creative process as my subconscious cooks the raw ingredients of conscious graft.

Wish I had done this sooner yesterday instead of fruitlessly slaving at my desk all day, achieving nothing but a headache. A simple walk with the dog in the evening, the fog cleared, everything fell into place…

I had a manager that did this for our meetings. I did not like it. I am not a thinker on my feet. I am a contemplator and need to think slowly and quietly by myself. Similarly, I hate pair programming. Tech bravado is set up to be against people that think and work like me.

I’ve found pair programming nice sometimes — but not for particularly creative tasks. Rather, it’s nice to have two sets of short term memory when dealing with hairy codebases, and being able to delegate who is thinking low-level (syntax etc) and who high-level.

Yeah, I usually find pair programming pretty tiring so not something I’d like to do much of the time, but I have found it really great for transferring techniques and approaches between people. I’d definitely hate to have do it 100% or even 50% of the time though. :/
