What Hacker News says
2 sourcesFor those of you using emacs, I've been using imp-mode with some great success for sharing buffers:
https://github.com/skeeto/impatient-mode
I have found collaboratively typing/editing does not go that well for most coding I seem to want to collaborate on. The guy I work closest with uses vim in a very specific way (one window per buffer, many many MacVim windows with keybindings to search titles, etc) and I use Emacs a very specific way (helm buffer search, compilation modes, eshell, etc)
So now I just share my buffer, and (kbd "C-x n d") `narrow-to-defun` to hide everything down to just the definition I'm working on (generally a C/C++ class/function).
It also lets him go off and update bugs, read some email, whatever if I go off on a tight edit/compile/test loop to get a few things right that he doesn't have input on.
