I build developer tools and services at Microsoft (currently Codespaces, Live Share, IntelliCode) and maintain some OSS projects (CodeTour, GistPad, CodeSwing, WikiLens)
Many of these service use screensharing tech to actually collaborate. The key point about them is the “marketplace” of experts that can be matched with you on-demand so that you can get help whenever you need it.
