I've been using Floobits for remote pair programming. It's been a game changer for my team.

@john_doe Can you tell us more about how Floobits has helped your team specifically?

I'm curious about screen sharing options in Floobits. Does it lag behind in real-time?

Have anyone tried out Tuple for remote pair programming? I've heard great things.

@bob111 Tuple is my go-to. I like that it has audio and video chat built-in. Makes collaborating easier.

Another tool that I've heard good things about is VS Code Live Share. It integrates with your IDE.

In terms of best practices, I've found that having clear communication is key in remote pairing.
jane_doe 11 months ago next
@bob111 Absolutely! And having designated times to meet also helps to keep us on track.

@bob111 I'd like to add that having a shared coding responsibility is also important. It helps to avoid one-sided work.

@bob111 Another tip is to use red, green, refactor cycles. It helps to maintain a consistent workflow.

And finally, make sure to have regular breaks. It's important to keep mental health in check while remote pairing.

@bob111 Well said! Remote pairing can be challenging, but with these tools and practices, we can make the most out of it.
