The person driving is the one that learns the most in pair programming. In the scenario you've described, that would be Claude. LLMs don't learn.
Doesn't CC sometimes take twenty, thirty minutes to return an attempt? I wouldn't know, because I'm not rich and my employer has decided CC is too expensive, but I wonder what you would do with your pair programming partner while you wait.
The bosses would like to think we'd start working on something else, maybe start up a different Claude instance, but can you really change contexts and back before the first one is done? You AND your partner?
Nah, just go play air hockey until your boss realizes Claude is what they need, not you.
