Real pair programming

Share your screen, write code together, and solve real problems live. This isn’t a lecture — it’s collaborative coding.

Deep React expertise: hooks, state management, performance, Next.js, testing, and more. No mile-wide, inch-deep coverage.

Flexible scheduling

Book sessions when it works for you. Morning, evening, weekend — our mentors span multiple time zones.

FAQ

Common questions

Who are the mentors?

Senior software engineers (3+ years) who have shipped production React at Y Combinator-backed startups. We vet every mentor for technical skill and teaching ability.

What can I work on during a session?

Anything React-related: debugging your code, code reviews, learning new patterns (hooks, state management, SSR), building features together, interview prep, or architecture discussions. You set the agenda.

How do sessions work technically?

After booking, you’ll receive a link to a video call with screen sharing. You share your editor and code together in real time — like pair programming with a senior colleague.

I’m a total beginner. Is this for me?

DevPair works best if you have some React basics down (can build a simple component). If you’re 0–3 years into your dev journey and want to accelerate, this is designed for you.

Can I request a specific mentor?

With the 3-Session Bundle you get the same mentor across all sessions for continuity. For single sessions, we match you with the best available mentor for your topic.

What if I’m not satisfied?

If your session doesn’t meet your expectations, reach out and we’ll make it right — whether that’s a partial refund or a complimentary follow-up session.
