Paired: Remote Pair Programming Software
Paired facilitates remote pair programming sessions with screen sharing, real-time code collaboration, and video calls for effective remote teamwork.
What is Paired?
Paired is a software tool designed specifically for remote pair programming. It enables two or more developers to collaborate in real-time while coding, even when working remotely. Some of the key features of Paired include:
- Screen sharing - Developers can share their screens with their pairing partner, allowing both to see the same code editor, terminal, browser, etc.
- Simultaneous coding - Both developers can type in the code editor at the same time, enabling real-time collaboration.
- Video calling - There is a built-in video chat so developers can talk, discuss ideas, and see each other's facial reactions as they code together.
- Text chat - For quick communication, there is also a text chat window for conversations, sharing links, code snippets, etc.
- Session management - Paired allows you to create private rooms for each pairing session, set availability status, switch drivers, etc.
- Code snippet sharing - Quickly exchange pieces of code with your pairing partner.
- Platform agnostic - It works equally well on Windows, Mac, Linux, the web browser and even mobile.
Overall, Paired aims to provide a seamless remote pairing experience by combining screen sharing, collaborative coding tools and video chat into one platform. This allows developers to efficiently practice pair programming even when working from different physical locations.
