Regarding pair programming, some of my best work was done “remote pair programming” with voice chat and screen sharing.

I agree. Even if within the same building, I find it more ergonomic to screen share / voice chat than awkwardly try to share the same monitor, etc.

Agree with this, but most places set up to pair effectively have mirrored monitor set ups. Makes a huge difference.

Agree. With tools like Remote VS Code it's definitely as good if not better than in person because you each have your own creature comforts but share the same workspace (even terminal) and can edit the same file at the same time.

we've only just started using live share, but it seems quite good, so far
