Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why would I need your help?
A: Everyone needs help sometimes, yes, even those with an IQ of 200. Sometimes we need help to get into a good development habits. Sometimes simply explaining the problem to someone else helps us to understand it better and it’s not uncommon that a solution presented itself in this situation.
Q: Okay, so I’ll just get my buddy at work to listen to me.

Q: What sort of problems are we talking about?
A: Anything that relates to daily programming challenges in our job as software developer.

Q: What are sessions?
A: Sessions are the way to quantify the interaction between us and you. A session is basically one meeting, which is an hour (plus-minus a few minutes, we are not too picky). During a session, a problem is presented, analyzed and either: a) solved, or b) recorded and formulated for the next session if so desired.
Q: I prefer online chat instead of meeting, can you facilitate that?
A: Sure. It would be one-hour per session, just like ordinary sessions, but we do not have to pay for gasoline.
Q: Gosh, this is actually quite useful! can we meet to talk about my … uh, personal issues?
A: Sorry, no. For that, we recommend a visit with a psychologist.
Q: Those articles on your website is rather useful, can I submit one?
