Ron Jeffries says it's an ideal, which is almost never achieved:

XP says that "all production code is written by two people sitting
together at one machine". That's the rule. As far as I know, no project
has ever done that, including many that I consider to deserve the name
XP. So what's the rule about? It's an ideal.
Ron seems to be a bit of a wheel in the XP world too.
