this is a widely debated technique. I do not see this on professional bicycles these days and have only read advice against this. but that's not to say there may be a benefit in some cases.
If you fix two spokes together they can't move back and forth against each other. locking them in place better and creating a stronger, stiffer wheel.
I read about this in a wheel.building book and am really looking to try it, the science seems solid.
