You never heard of pair programming?
With juniors Tim would pretty much be training them and nudging them on to write better code.
With seniors, like the short article says, it's more a sparring match, trying to find the best solution. You also find a lot of edge cases when someone else works with you together.
I haven't been in a company yet where they have a full time floating position for pair programming, but if it's a senior doing it I can see how it's very beneficial for product quality.
Tim should be fired for insubordinate and his lead should be fired for protecting him.
I get that every shit developer thinks they a Tim or aspires to be one but Tim is a lazy developer doing the fun parts without producing.
Everyone here is assuming Tim is something because you've told he is by the lead.
It's troubling.
