we want our community to be a home base for people in tech to come together network and learn from each other. we would love to have you apart of our community!

Code is becoming a commodity. What companies want is someone who can solve a business problem. The code is the tool, your brain is the product. #TechCommunity

One community, many spaces. Join us today for Community Everywhere, a virtual session on connecting them all without losing what makes it feel like home: luma.com/torcdo-f9dm #Techevents

Today on @gc2dot0: Greg Lasseter, an SRE turned operator who ran his job search like a production system. The do’s and don’ts of using AI to find a job without getting lost in the tools. Join @tdesseyn live: luma.com/torcdo-gtz6 #TechCommunity

Community managers, tomorrow’s for you: when to use owned, open, and invite-only spaces, how to keep the experience consistent wherever members show up, and how to govern it all without losing what makes it feel real. RSVP: luma.com/torcdo-f9dm #TechCommunity

The AI job search advice online is a lot. Tomorrow, Greg Lasseter shares what worked for him, from someone who was running agentic AI in production before it was cool. @gc2dot0 with @tdesseyn: luma.com/torcdo-gtz6 #Careertips

Be honest: do you open emails from a real person’s name faster than ones from a company? #TechCommunity

The junior market is tight right now. Internships, pet projects, and building something that solves a real problem all count as experience. “What have you built?” is the question you need an answer for. #Interviewtips

What makes a developer go from “what is this?” to “i can’t live without it”? @savsql has spent her career figuring that out at PlanetScale, Neon, SingleStore, and now Databricks. She’s on @SheShipsPodcast with @RoxanaCodes TODAY: luma.com/torcdo-nfir #Womenintech

You don’t have to be actively job hunting to put a line in the water. Create your profile, let the AI match you to roles in our network, and check back when you’re ready. No pressure, just options: platform.torc.dev/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social #TechJobs

Savannah Longoria (@savsql) knows how to get developers from “what is this?” To “I can’t live without it.” She’s a senior developer advocate at DataBricks with stops at PlanetScale, Neon, and SingleStore along the way. Meet her on she ships with @RoxanaCodes, 10/26: luma.com/torcdo-nfir

Recruiters remember people by one detail. The swim coach. The guy who makes jerky. The pest control guy breaking into tech. Point is...give them something real to remember you by #Interviewtips

Greg Lasseter was deploying agentic AI in production operations before it was mainstream. Then he found himself on an unexpected job search and used the same toolkit on it. @tdesseyn talks with him on @gc2dot0 on 10/27! Tune in: luma.com/torcdo-gtz6 #Techevents

You made it through another week of tickets, meetings, and “quick questions.” We’re in going live at 1:30pm EST to talk about all of it. Yappy hour is happening today! Join us: luma.com/torcdo-8g38

Friday is the one day of the week where “how was your week?” gets a true answer. So come answer it truthfully at Yappy hour, tomorrow at 1:30pm EST on a discord stage near you! luma.com/torcdo-8g38 #TechCommunity #Discord

"Built apps with react on AWS” tells a recruiter nothing. “Built a bot that summarizes 10,000 monthly discord messages for a community” tells them everything. Say what you built and what problem it solved #Careertips

Tomorrow on laid off lounge: @dandigangi has built high-performance teams at docusign, arrive logistics, and postmark. He also cares a lot about how tech people are actually doing. Tune in with @RoxanaCodes live: luma.com/torcdo-4x01

There’s no excuse for walking into an interview unprepared anymore. Ask an AI to research the company and the person you’re meeting, then bring up something real. It turns a transactional call into an actual conversation #Interviewtips

Raleigh, thank you. Local engineers and tech pros filled the room last Sunday, swapping ideas and making new connections over the kind of conversations that don’t happen on a schedule. Missed it? Join us at the next one: luma.com/torcdotdev #TechCommunity #Raleigh

Tomorrow on AI and yap: How to use AI as a job search coach instead of just a tool. @tdesseyn shows how to set it up, how to keep it honest, and how to get a clear plan for what to do every single day. RSVP: luma.com/torcdo-orvr #TechCommunity

Stop bolding keywords on your resume. Recruiters just ctrl+f anyway, and AI ranking tools don’t care about bold. Use the plain words that are in the job description #Resumetips

What happens after the first click? @haleyrdm works on demand generation at Laravel, and her goal is to get more devs to try Laravel cloud in a way that feels casual instead of "salesy". Catch her on @SheShipsPodcast episode 18 with @RoxanaCodes: www.youtube.com/live/AAncs3E...

3 billion emails a month. 20+ years in software. 10+ years mentoring engineers and leaders. Tomorrow on laid off lounge, @RoxanaCodes sits down with @dandigangi to talk about building great teams and why mental health in tech matters. RSVP: luma.com/torcdo-4x01 #Techevents

Resume tip: put a skills box near the top with your years of experience next to each tech. Recruiters get asked “how many years of x?” constantly, so answer it before they have to #interviewtips

A marketer who codes and an engineer who never forgot the customer. @lindseydortch sat down with @RoxanaCodes on she ships and talked about going from requesting features to building them. Watch the replay: www.youtube.com/live/MhElLVd... #TechCommunity

“I’m applying every day” is not a plan. AI and yap week 2 shows you how to turn a vague job search into a daily to-do list with AI as your coach, and how to keep it honest so it doesn’t just tell you what you want to hear. This Thursday 10/22: luma.com/torcdo-orvr #TechCommunity

The best job alerts are the ones that actually fit. Set up your Torc profile once and get match alerts on your phone the moment a role drops that lines up with your skills. platform.torc.dev/?utm_source=social&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=social #TechJobs

You can learn the framework from a youtube video. You can’t get “here’s the mistake I made so you don’t have to” from anywhere except a real conversation with someone who’s been there #TechCommunity

Apply to the job, then find the person who posted it on Linkedin and message them. Tell them the specific skills you have that match. Recruiters really do say “thank god you did that!” #Interviewtips

Today on @SheShipsPodcast: @lindseydortch, a senior software engineer who never forgot the customer. She ships features for large-scale e-commerce, runs her own boutique agency, and brings a perspective most teams don’t know they’re missing. Join @RoxanaCodes live: luma.com/torcdo-wb42 #Tech

“Ghost jobs” aren’t always fake. Sometimes a company is just always hiring for the same role, or too many people applied and nobody closed the posting. Your resume might still get pulled weeks later when the right project opens. #Careertips

@lindseydortch got tired of waiting and learned to built it herself! She went from running email campaigns and chasing search rankings, to engineering SEO initiatives and leading UI standardization. Monday, Oct 19: luma.com/torcdo-wb42 #TechCommunity

Recruiters are juggling calls, submittals, interviews, background checks, and getting people to show up on day one. If you haven’t heard back, send a short, friendly follow-up email. It’s not annoying, it’s helpful. #Interviewtips

@lindseydortch didn’t wait for an engineer to fix the problem. She became one. On Oct 19, @RoxanaCodes sits down with the marketer turned senior software engineer on she ships. RSVP: luma.com/torcdo-wb42 #WomeninTech

Skip the job fair, go to a conference or a local meetup instead. That’s where the hiring companies actually show up, and where a real conversation can turn into a real opportunity! #TechCommunity

Will AI agents replace devs, or just 10x them? @tdesseyn sits down with @PeterBell, founder and CTO at gather.dev, to cut through the hype on how top engineering leaders are actually rolling out agents and where software engineering roles are headed. Catch it here: www.youtube.com/live/CHfIrR2...

@TasonJorres used to run community here at Torc. Now he’s back to review your resume live as he joins @roxanacodes for career audit sessions tomorrow! He knows how to stand out and helping you do so as well: luma.com/torcdo-two0 #TechEvents

Beyond the Prompt, a 45 minute interactive session on using AI to elevate your creative vision instead of replacing it. See how project managers, writers, designers, and video editors can spot blind spots and stress-test ideas without giving up creative control. Join us live: luma.com/torcdo-he0k
