dropping the rankings of my favorite airports of 2025 friday on the ole substack taylordesseyn.substack.com

Personal email + job search = opportunities lost in spam. @tdesseyn.bsky.social recommends: dedicated email, name in bold, LinkedIn, GitHub. Simple but effective to never miss an interview. #TorcCommunity #TorcEvents

always a vibe with @tasonjorres and @msbrianaholmes

new substack on how to leverage job boards on your job search. the tldr - don't use it to find jobs. use it for jobs to come to you. taylordesseyn.substack.com/p/why-job-bo...

if you send me a video to watch on fb messenger i will never watch it

we are so back.

just did some high level calcuations and the @torcdotdev team hit around 1.355M impressions through social media and sponsorships. not a terrible first year:)

if there is one thing about me is im going to fail the internal phishing test

last virtual meetup of the year for @dadsintech see you at 11am cst in our discord! discord.gg/S2XbtQQF

most people are NOT good at the 'tell me about yourself' question. well i broke down on how you should answer this question in an interview. open.spotify.com/episode/1lQv...

locked and loaded this morning. got an amazing panel with the founder of torc and the coo of a massive software publication. see you at 9:30am cst for a special edition of @gc2dot0

my favorite thing is when old people say “i’ve lost 20 pounds” susan you haven’t. but it’s okay. but you haven’t.

Putting just "2025-2026" on your resume without months is a red flag for recruiters. Did you work 2 years or 2 months? @tdesseyn.bsky.social (1000+ devs placed) explains why this detail is costing you calls. #TorcCommunity #TorcEvents

pumped to hang with the dads in @dadsintech tomorrow for our last virtual meetup of the year! guild.host/events/decem...

last vlog of the yeeaarrrrrrr!! ive done 27 of these over the course of 2025 documenting the building of the brand and the community of @torc.dev this vlog is a TRUE bts of 48 hours in atlanta in november with my colleagues jason/briana on how we are thinking about 2026! youtu.be/E3t6ENndUIM?...

two things that are incredibly hard to grow organically -newsletter -youtube and imma be focusing on that for a while lol

just saw the initial renderings of the new torc merch by the new company we are using.... i need these on my body asap

building community is hard. it's a choice. its showing up daily and engaging. it takes time but its worth it. ❤️

for me its an honor if one person shows up to a talk of mine at a tech conference. its humbling when people sit outside for my talk and stay to ask more questions after it. i say this time and time again people need the information and community that we are building at @torcdotdev

reminder. open up your friends email newsletters and click a link to support them in their email analytics.
