Seems like you speak from bitter experience, here.
When you just have pair programming without a programme around it that makes sure, the the right and always different pairs are built, different characters are addressed their way to learn best, trainers are trained and rewarded, folks are fired who never learn, remain dependent on others, never pay back or contribute etc. - you know - all the general HR stuff - you will get efficiency and motivational problems only Microsofts and Googles can afford - but will take lifes when you are an airplane or car manufacturer, responsible for a nuclear power plant etc.
And there's more to the merits of coders learning to pair program than wild guesses. I don't think anybody's saying it's something everyone should do, but it there may be some benefit to learn it in case it's useful in the future, with the right company, colleagues, or program. Tools in the toolbox, and all that.
I have always hated pair programming, as a junior and as a senior dev. It has never not made me feel uncomfortable personally, on either side of it. It's not quite as bad virtually, but still far from great.
For further actions, you may consider blocking this person and/or reporting abuse
We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
