Ask HN: Any way to do anonymous pair programming?

15 points by gumpieza 13 years ago | 3 comments

I have started to really enjoy learning new things and i am the kind of person who learns by someone teaching. One of the more interesting ways i have learnt things is by pair programming. Is there any system that lets developers join up to discuss and learn new things through the principle of pair programming?

I'd totally love to use this!

It would be great if you had an anonymous tutor who'd help you out with a problem, kinda like a more real time StackOverflow. It would be fun if there were some features from Github too.

It's not anonymous by any means, but I have a little (open source) project that is all about pair programming over the Internet. It is called "termbeamer" and it lets one person host a Linux terminal session and one or more people view the session. Coupled with a voice or video communication channel it makes for pretty good remote pair programming. See termbeamer.com for more details.

What do you mean by "anonymous" exactly? Trying to parse what you're looking for...
