How Remote Pair Programming Works.
In this post, I’ll show you what you need to set up Visual Studio Code for remote pair programming. This means that I am literally on video all workday, and thus available for “face to face” chats with whoever happens to need me. The goal is to not use any other app such as Slack or FaceTime for calls and messaging. Remote pair programming doesn’t have to replace pair programming in person, either. The person typing on the keyboard is called the Driver. VS Code is about one or two updates away from entirely killing any reason to use your software. We pair juniors with senior devs and we don't want to loose a whole bunch of productivity having to deal with pushing and pulling every change we make. But, I’m remote. Remote pair programming is an Extreme Programming (XP) methodology which is a part of the Agile software development model. This is a deal breaker for my company. It takes the principle of pair programming to the remote workplace. Remote pair programming is not very different from traditional pair programming.
Motepair is a Atom editor package, that enables remote pair programming using Github’s editor.. It binds two or more atom editors, in the way that actions like opening/closing files, switching tabs, selection, mouse moving, insertion and deletions get replied to the others editors. It’s an effective way to make the most of working from home while still saving time and being more productive. Thus I practice remote pair programming, using video conferencing and computer screen sharing technologies to pair program with my colleagues 8 hours each day, 40 hours per week. In pair programming, you and another software developer (or aspiring software developer) sit together in front of a computer and take turns writing code using just one keyboard. Pair programming leads to higher quality code and fewer bugs by making continuous code reviews and synchronous collaboration possible.
