I made the career change to a dev position years ago. In my first job I pair programmed with a senior dev and learned so much. His productivity probably went down, but there were small things I was able to teach him. Or catch small defects that if I hadn't caught at the time would have caused a large time sink to track down.
Overall I'm the kind of person that does well when I have someone to bounce ideas off of, so pair programming starting out was a huge help.
