And not to get too far off it, but does anyone have a set of tools for remote pairing that they really like?

Even if pairing isn't something you're doing constantly, I do think that for many teams and jobs, it's useful _sometimes_. But when the norm was for everyone to be in office, it was easy to start and have a solid high-bandwidth session -- just both pull up to the same desk. I find voice + screenshare still misses a bunch of cues, lag is of course disruptive, and the switch between who has control of the screen etc is clunky, so one person tends to drive for a long time.

Tuple is great, zoom is OK, tmux plus a neutral VM in AWS is great for lower bandwidth pairing.

This is not wrong though.
