A *very* seasoned software engineer, I wrote my first basic game, a lunar landing game, in Basic in 1969. Currently I am doing web development in Ruby on Rails, JavaScript, Elm.
I led a pair programming session that also was a shoulder-surfing session for several devs and our manager, over zoom. We are all remote already, not suddenly working from home.
However what made it a win is that besides my pair and I, the other dev team members and our manager aren't as versed in modern JS, nor as used to working closely with someone (in all ways besides physical) when pairing on development.
I'm sorta the JS lead, I get asked all the architectural design questions anyway, so I decided to drive and have my compatriot do the more significant navigation task.
The session went very well, we captured some great learnings and guidance, and the shoulder-surfers all said they very much enjoyed the session and learned a lot.

We're a place where coders share, stay up-to-date and grow their careers.
