I hope this helps you and all others who are looking to learn, teach, or collaborate while programming in virtual settings. They are not ordered on a scale of preference but consist of thirteen of the best tools I came across.

I searched the internet for other good, free alternative remote pair programming tools and came across the list below. Given its common use as a hiring tool, however, it costs a lot of money for just me and my cousin to use as a learning tool.

Looking for a way to encourage him to build this habit in a simple remote programming setup, I came across HackerRank pair programming, a software system used by companies to interview remote candidates with a built-in terminal and Integrated Development Environment (IDE). It is daunting because he has never programmed before, and I want to show him that he can learn by practicing consistently every day. This way, when he begins job search, he has a higher chance of getting a well-paying job and expanding his search to include remote technical roles.īut here is the problem, my cousin is intimidated by the sight of code. My cousin is bright, so I suggested that he start learning programming skills while the lockdown is on. Still, I don't think it will be easy for him to find a good job once the lockdown has been lifted or the pandemic curbed as unemployment is increasing across the country. His aunt is letting him stay without paying rent until he can start applying for jobs again, so he's going to be okay.

Also, he's almost broke and without a car. My cousin had just moved back to the USA when the virus hit, and now he's stuck at his aunt's house in Texas with no job and nothing to do. Here's a little background that inspired this piece.
