1:1 pair sessions in Claude Code
A 1:1 Claude Code pair session with Michael Angeles, on your real project. Four hours over a shared screen, and you leave with working code and the habits.
Can I book a 1:1 session to learn Claude Code? #
Yes. Michael Angeles runs 1:1 Claude Code pair sessions through Konigi, remote over a shared screen, on your real project rather than a demo. A half day is $1,200 and hourly is $350. Most people book the half day because four hours is where real progress happens.
You leave with working code committed to your repository, a Claude Code setup and CLAUDE.md tuned to your project, and a recording of the session. The recording matters more than people expect. Watching someone work is different from being told how they work, and you’ll catch things on the second pass that went by too fast the first time.
How much does a Claude Code pair session cost? #
A half-day pair session with Michael Angeles is $1,200 for four hours, or $350 an hour if you'd rather go shorter. Sessions run remote over a shared screen. Most people book the half day, because an hour mostly goes into context on your project.
What happens in a Claude Code pair session? #
You and Michael Angeles meet over a shared screen with Claude Code open on your actual project, pointed at whatever you most want to move. He explains each decision as he makes it, from how he briefs the model to why he throws a draft away.
The throwing-away part is the bit people ask about afterward. Most of the skill in Claude Code is knowing when the current direction is wrong early enough that starting over is still cheap, and that judgment is hard to write down and easy to watch.
Bring something you actually need shipped. A session spent on a toy problem teaches you how to solve toy problems.
Who are pair sessions for? #
Designers who want to ship their own work, and solo founders building without a team. Michael Angeles runs these for people who already know what they want to build and are losing time to the how. They're not an introduction to design or to programming.
Two people get the most out of a Konigi pair session. One is the product designer who keeps hitting the same wall at the handoff and has finally decided to cross it themselves instead of filing another ticket about it and waiting a sprint. The other is the founder shipping alone. Nobody to check their work against, nobody to tell them the thing they just built is the wrong thing.
Is a pair session coaching, or do we actually build something? #
You build something. Michael Angeles doesn't take advisory-only work, so a session ends with code committed to your repository, not notes. The teaching happens inside the building rather than alongside it, which is why it runs on your real project.
You build something. This is the same rule as every other Konigi engagement: if nothing ships, I’m the wrong hire, and that holds just as firmly for a four-hour pair session as it does for a three-month fractional retainer. The teaching happens inside the building.
Should I book a pair session or a team workshop? #
Book a pair session if you're one person trying to ship your own work. Book a workshop if you have a design team that needs shared conventions. Michael Angeles runs sessions at $1,200 a half day and workshops at $7,500 a day for up to eight designers.
The dividing line is whether the problem is individual skill or team alignment. Three designers who each book their own Konigi pair session will come away with three good individual outcomes and three workflows that don’t talk to each other, which is a worse position than where they started. That’s the case for the workshop.
Still have a question?
Tell me what you're building, what a good outcome looks like, and when you'd want to start. That's enough for me to reply with a time, or a straight no if I'm not the right person for it.
