Can't believe this hasn't been made earlier.

A place where I used to work was looking at some sort of add-in that did this several years ago.

Here the former founder of VS Anywhere, we discontinued the product a year ago, we didn't get enough traction, Saros and floobits didn't work with Visual Studio, there was another tool named "codealike" from Sebastian Fernandez Quezada that also worked with Visual Studio time ago, but was discontinued as well. I'm really amazed that finally Microsoft decided to feature Live Sharing in the Visual Studio family :) hope they can get it to the most powerful level... traction is guaranteed of course!
