What Hacker News says

PM for Live Share here! Our team has _loved_ working with the community on this product over the last year, and we're excited to reach this milestone, and get even broader feedback (https://github.com/microsoftdocs/live-share). Developer collaboration is something we're very passionate about, and so we're keen to continue learning how to make it even more enjoyable and efficient for everything from pair programming, interactive classrooms, team brown bags, onboarding/mentoring, code reviews, hack-a-thons, etc. Live Share is now available for both Visual Studio and Visual Studio Code (https://aka.ms/vsls-pack), including the ability to collaborate between them! So if you're using either one of those tools, and you get a chance to check out Live Share, please don't hesitate to share your thoughts and let us know how we can improve further.

Also, if you're new to Live Share, and are curious why we built it (great question!), you can check out this article for a little more details: https://aka.ms/vsls-why.
