You should take a closer look at XP before criticising it like that. Look at the XP web site or read Extreme Programming Explained.

Pair programming is only one small part of XP and it works nothing like the way you assume. There aren't junior and senior partners in a pair. A particular pair might only exist for a day and then both programmers move on to other pairs.

I confess that I had a similar reaction to you when I first heard about it, but I've investigated further and I'm more excited by XP than I've ever been by any other development methodology. I can't wait to find a project enlightened enough to give it a try.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
