I find I can barely write code at all with someone looking over my shoulder, so that kind of pair programming isn't for me. The most fun I have while coding is when I can turn on the music and forget about everything else. That's also when I achieve the highest level of productivity.

Of course, sometimes a job is too big for one person to do alone. But even in those cases I think it's best to divy up the work in such a way that people can do it as independently as possible, and the need for meetings and such should be minimized.
