Comment on Ask HN: Over the shoulder Code-Review in remote settings

Comments

Call with screenshare when there's some issue to ask about/review?

On the whole I prefer it to 'over the shoulder' I think - 'no that bit, where I'm pointing but you can't see, gah' is annoying, but I get my own screen to look at.

(Even better might be some kind of remote editor session, so I could connect from whatever editor I like to use, on my screen at my resolution with my colours, and see your cursor move around while you talk. No idea how you'd do that in a cross-editor sort of way, though I suppose you could support major ones in a way that enabled them to be used with each other, e.g. I view in vim while partner moves cursor in VSCode or whatever.)
