Personally, it would be utterly exhausting mentally. There's a reason I picked this career and I enjoy the work I do. It's the ability to go toe to toe with the code and prove yourself without having somebody second guess you or ask too many questions.
I like meetings, I like presentations, but having a person beside me 8 hours a day would drive me insane.
Simple. I'm an introvert. Having another human by my side all day long does not just sound exhausting to me, it sounds unbearable. It completely turns the joy of programming on its head for people like me who need alone time to recharge.
