I think it says a lot that there are 156 comments in this thread and introversion is only mentioned three times including this comment so far. More people need to take personality tests lol.
You can't operate indefinitely this way as an introvert, it's physically impossible. Extroverts simply can't comprehend how impossible this level of interaction on a daily basis is for an introvert. Programming is an inherently internal process which is introversion, and naturally draws people that lean more towards introversion to this field. I'm not dismissing the benefits of pairing, but to do it while completely ignoring the needs of the target audience (predominately introverts) is ludicrous and of course this burns people out.
Introverts, to varying degrees, expend energy in the presence of other people. They have to be alone to recharge. There is often a misunderstanding that introverts are just shy, this is a fundamental misunderstanding. Shyness often accompanies introversion but they are fundamentally different aspects.
Extroverts are the opposite, they gain energy when interacting with others. Most people are some form of omnivert, certain interactions can drain them and other interactions can give them energy.
No matter how beneficial pairing is it will fail if it doesn't learn to adapt more to the needs of the core user: introverts.
