Live 1-on-1 Rust Mentoring
Pair with senior crate maintainers and Rust contributors for live, 1-on-1 sessions. No pre-recorded fluff — just real mentorship from engineers who shape the ecosystem.
How it works
Browse senior Rust maintainers by domain — async runtimes, embedded, web, CLI tooling, unsafe code, and more.
Availability syncs from GitHub activity. Choose a time that works, pay $75 for the hour, and get a private video link.
Work through your actual codebase, design patterns, performance issues, or Rust concepts — whatever moves you forward.
Why Ferrous
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.
Every mentor actively maintains open-source Rust crates or contributes to the Rust project. No generalists — only specialists.
Bring your repo. Sessions focus on your actual challenges — architecture decisions, unsafe code review, performance profiling, CI pipelines.
Mentor schedules sync with their GitHub activity. Book when they're actually available, not when a calendar widget says so.
Pay per session. No subscriptions, no packages, no upsells. One hour, $75, pure mentorship.
