“You’re remote pairing today” Hello Sally -- I'm Joe Moore, software engineer at Pivotal Labs. You and I will be remote pairing today! Do you mind answering a couple of questions and performing a little setup? • What is your Skype ID? • What operating system are you using -- Mac, PC, or Linux? • What is your screen resolution? If you could, please download and install TeamViewer, which we will likely use for screen sharing. Also, please invite 'pivotaljoe' as a Skype contact. I will call you at 1:30PM NYC time.
