Questions? We've got answers.
Most matches happen within 5 minutes during business hours. We have senior devs across multiple time zones covering JavaScript, Python, React, Node.js, and more.
We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If your senior dev can't resolve your issue or you're not happy with the session, you get a full refund — no questions asked.
Our senior devs cover all major web technologies: JavaScript/TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python, Django, Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and more. Tell us your stack when booking and we'll match you with an expert.
While debugging is our specialty, senior devs can also help with code reviews, architecture questions, deployment issues, and getting unstuck on any technical problem.
After matching, you'll get a link to join a video call. Share your screen, walk through the issue, and your senior dev will guide you to the fix — or take control if needed (with your permission).
Absolutely. All sessions are private and confidential. Our senior devs sign NDAs, and we never store your code. We understand junior devs often feel vulnerable — our mentors are specifically selected for being patient and supportive.
