Can anyone recommend some remote employers that do pair programming?

  And not to get too far off it, but does anyone have a set of tools for remote pairing that they really like? Even if pairing isn't something you're doing constantly, I do think that for many teams and jobs, it's useful _sometimes_. But when the norm was for everyone to be in office, it was easy to start and have a solid high-bandwidth session -- just both pull up to the same desk. I find voice + screenshare still misses a bunch of cues, lag is of course disruptive, and the switch between who has control of the screen etc is clunky, so one person tends to drive for a long time.

    Tuple is great, zoom is OK, tmux plus a neutral VM in AWS is great for lower bandwidth pairing. > so one person tends to drive for a long time This is not wrong though.

  My employer, VMware, has many teams working on Cloud Foundry that do pair programming. It can be more exhausting to pair program remotely, so I would reckon few do so 40 hours a week.
