Got any tips for pair programming when not in the same physical space? IE one or both are working remotely? I know we can use video conferencing software and some of those allow for one person to take over the mouse/keyboard of someone sharing their screen, but beyond that?
I'm a software engineer for a startup called OnShift. I use gRPC and python daily to design and implement microservices. In my spare time I enjoy golfing and woodworking.
Hmm... I haven't had experience with it so I can't offer up much advice. What I will say is that you need to keep communication sharp and keep each other engaged. I imagine it would be easy to let your mind wander and get distracted if you aren't the one typing. I think it would benefit both of you if you talk out your plan and design before writing any code so you both know the direction to take. I hope this helps! Good luck.
There are a whole bunch of good recommendations on remote work and pairing here: remotelysoftware.com
My personal preference is to use tmux/vim and a video chat. If you're not into that tooling, I just learned about a cool-sounding tool for Atom. blog.atom.io/2017/11/15/code-toget...
