05/13/2020, 12:00 PMDue to the pandemic I find myself, as I'm sure lots of you as well, doing remote pairing or mobbing sessions. Zoom + IntelliJ give very mixed results when sharing a screen. My results have been deplorable with my keystrokes just not working or doing strange things entirely. I've had much better success with VSCode (I am truly sorry to say) but VSCode with Kotlin is still very early days especially for quickly spotting errors or suspect code. For that IntelliJ cannot be beat. But VSCode has Live Share which makes collaborating very easy and makes my keystroke issues gone. I even can use Emacs keybindings and still work flawlessly with others. So all this boils down to two questions: 1) has anyone figured out how to use Kotlin and VSCode that puts it on a par with IntelliJ for basic development (detect and show error/warnings and run tests); 2) has anyone figured out how to pair/mob remotely with Kotlin seamlessly?
