How it works

Three steps to better Rust

01

Pick your mentor

Browse senior Rust maintainers by domain — async runtimes, embedded, web, CLI tooling, unsafe code, and more.

02

Book a live session

Availability syncs from GitHub activity. Choose a time that works, pay $75 for the hour, and get a private video link.

03

Ship better code

Work through your actual codebase, design patterns, performance issues, or Rust concepts — whatever moves you forward.

Why Ferrous

Not another
tutorial

Tutorials teach syntax. Mentors teach judgment. Our mentors have shipped production Rust, maintained popular crates, and reviewed thousands of PRs. They know the patterns that work — and the traps that don't show up until production.

Real maintainers

Every mentor actively maintains open-source Rust crates or contributes to the Rust project. No generalists — only specialists.

Your code, your problems

Bring your repo. Sessions focus on your actual challenges — architecture decisions, unsafe code review, performance profiling, CI pipelines.

GitHub-synced availability

Mentor schedules sync with their GitHub activity. Book when they're actually available, not when a calendar widget says so.

No commitment

Pay per session. No subscriptions, no packages, no upsells. One hour, $75, pure mentorship.
