Skeptical about pair programming for months until a nasty bug popped up last week

I always thought pair programming was just a buzzword, but when a collaborator caught my off-by-one error in 30 seconds flat after I'd been staring at it for 2 hours, I got totally convinced, has anyone else had a moment where a coding habit they dismissed actually saved the day?

And then you realize the real win is not getting distracted for two hours in the first place.

Yeah seriously, I once spent three hours organizing my desk before writing a single email.
