2025 was bad in my personal life. @torcdotdev was a bright spots. Finding a tight-knit community of folks all trying to help each other on our career path. That's why I decided to join them as an Ambassador in 2026. I may even start posting more because of them, we'll see.

I don't post here much for a variety of reasons -- but the biggest one other communities I liked really dissolved. I don't see that happening with Torc. May or may not post more.

All the GIFs and jokes and trolling... can't wait.
Happy to announce I’m joining @torcdotdev as an ambassador. I'm excited to represent a community (and several gifs) that you can't find anywhere else.

2026 will be huge for Torc based on everything they did in 2025. They're going to build off that momentum -- or really hard work -- to reach new heights.
2025 was about the people who chose to show up. From in-person meetups to Discord conversations, we built something real together. To the Torc Ambassadors, engineers, and every builder who said "I'm in" — you are the reason this works. This is Torc. This is our community. 2026 can only get better. 🚀 #TorcCommunity

might delete later, but if y'all have any leads on dev-rel, community, or adjacent openings i'd love to hear about it. i'm headed to work tomorrow afternoon and it has become pretty toxic. le sigh.
If you’re looking for an outstanding Developer Advocate to help grow your community and so much more, look no further than Roxy. Happy to provide a testimonial if needed, but once you meet her, you’ll quickly see why she’s advanced so far in her interviews — and you’ll feel lucky to have the chance to bring her on board.

Dedicated frontend and backend roles sound great, but when an urgent issue pops up, fullstack flexibility wins. Knowing a bit of Rails on top of React helps unlock blockers fast—small wins, big impact. Watch the full conversation we had with @LeftShotDev! 👇

Leadership "choreography" isn’t micromanagement, as @LeftShotDev from @LumenLearning explained in our recent episode. It’s about balancing structure with creativity—guiding the team while leaving room for innovation. Link to the full interview in the comments!

Podcasts only grow stronger as the things they cover deliver big news as soon as the recording light goes off.
UNC needs to stop fucking with my podcast recording schedule.
