I am an introvert (although I don't have social anxiety). I work at a company where we pair program every day. I was very nervous about it at first, but I absolutely love it. Sure, if your coworkers suck it's going to be horrible.

As a counterpoint to most of the comments here: I work at a company where almost every developer pairs all the time. I absolutely love it. I thought I would hate it. I'm an introvert. I previously worked as a solo freelancer and then

I work for a company that takes agile development practices seriously, and I pair program all day, every day. I absolutely love it -- primarily for the reason you cite (I previously worked mostly solo as a freelancer or remote teammate)...

lol, I've been a javascript developer (among other things) for over 15 years :) The point is that some people/teams/environments prefer to not treat everything as a javascript app. Especially in the agency world -- thinking a

Not all aspects of Shopify can be customized -- especially with the checkout workflow (eg you can only set a logo for the checkout page, but not style it). Also the non-ecommerce pages are woefully lacking in content management functionalit
