Ask HN: Remote pairing, can it be done well?
Does anyone here do remote pairing well? If so what do you use (os/application/external tools/etc.) Brownie points to those who use an editor with some sort of collaboration tool.
- thmzlt 16y agoTMux + Vim will give you a lot of flexibility for editing code while pairing. If you don't need the video features of Skype, you can also try Mumble for chatting.
- GrandMasterBirt 16y agoHosts starts the pairing session, tmux will just multiplex the screen, and both edit in vim? Ok interesting. Seems fairly limiting in what you can do though.
- rguzman 16y agoI've remote-paired a couple of times with skype + screen. It is very important that both have a good headset/mic. In screen, we used a shared session and each keep a separate terminal window open for each tab in the session. The downside was having to develop on a remote machine, but it worked well enough for a few sessions.
