What a great day to be thankful! And to also drink tea.😉

I just finished uninstalling: - Gemini CLI Companion - Gemini Code Assist - Gemini CLI Let's check out Antigravity CLI! 🖖🏾

Been heads down w/ local models. Today Gemini CLI & Code Assist are being retired for Antigravity CLI. June 18 is the cutoff date. Time to plan the next move. We are living in times where we have to balance local vs Pay-to-Play. Still processing... developers.googleblog.com/an-important...

It's Friday y'all! Step away from your busy week for Yappy Hour! Hosted by Angelos , followed by Yappy Hour Español w/ Ximena. 1:30 PM ET on Discord luma.com/jqu5n1c4?tk=... The job platform that puts community first: platform.torc.dev#/r/uXArJpgC/cp @torc.dev #community

Deleted the custom "Crew" logic in my latest refactor. I was mid-build until I saw Better-Auth natively supports a "Members" schema. The trade-off made sense, less custom code = fewer bugs to track. Wins: • Simplified state • Hardened permissions #softwareEngineering #buildInPublic

Message to self. The best time to start something was yesterday the 2nd best time is today. Just Start!

Yappy Hour is about to start. Today's chat will be hosted by community member and ambassador @j3ffjessie.bsky.social . Come join us and take a break from your week. 1:30pm ET luma.com/t9orcvum?tk=... @torc.dev #Community

Don't let the AI 'noise' make you feel behind. Everyone is on a different lap, but we’re all on the same track. I’m focused on staying inquisitive and moving at my own pace. If you’re learning, you’re winning. #LearningInPublic #AI #DevCommunity #SoftwareEngineering

Mastering Goose workshop w/ @torc.dev @blackgirlbytes.bsky.social Time: 1pm Today! Loc: luma.com/7yn5w6gi I've been working w/ Goose lately, combining it with Ollama. I'm a huge fan of Gemini CLI, however this tool is quickly becoming a go to for me. #AI #GooseAI #Torc

After going through the Torc Goose Workshop I'm currently watching www.youtube.com/watch?v=WG10... I like the idea of being able to bring local LLMs to the party. #Goose #Torc #AI #Block

Day 1 was just the warmup 👀 Day 2 (Feb 3) with @blackgirlbytes: production-ready workflows, subagent orchestration, and patterns you'll use forever. If you loved the first session, you NEED the second one. Spots still available 👇 luma.com/7yn5w6gi

Here is a look at one of the apps we made today at the Goose workshop. winters-tale-booth.netlify.app @opensource.block.xyz @torc.dev

Let the Goose loose! Today @ 1PM EST 🪿 Catch the workshop with @blackgirlbytes.bsky.social & @torc.dev. AI Agents, MCP, and open-source what more can you ask for? Goose let's you Bring Your Own Model so no lock-in. I'm bringing questions. see you there: luma.com/user/torc

. @torc.dev Yappy Hour recap: Kaizen = 1% better daily. Struggled w/ a pnpm monorepo deploy on Netlify this week, however that’s the path to progress. Failure through perseverance becomes expertise. We grow through struggle! #BuildInPublic #SoftwareEngineering #Code

Dinner Fresh: - pineapple - ginger - spring mix - blackberries - blueberries - raspberries And Vita Coco

Goose is such a great tool. If you’re new to coding agents or just want to figure out how it works, you should definitely tune in. With Rizel teaching it you can’t go wrong. It’s open source you can use any model. What else could you ask for. #SoftwareEngineering #AI #Torc

Rejection doesn’t mean though it just means not right now.

The 2026 Kick off Yappy Hour w/ @torc.dev If you're looking for a community for devs, this is a casual, low-pressure hangout. (connect & talk shop) RSVP here: luma.com/nyhnwzp8 Join: platform.torc.dev#/r/uXArJpgC/cp - Fri, Jan. 16th - 1:30 PM EST - Discord #torc #community

Today: I refactored how I handle user authentication between the front & back end. By switching to Bearer tokens in headers I boosts efficiency and security. 🧵 #SoftwareEngineering #Torc #100Devs

New year, new goals, same grind! I just posted a new video on why community has always been key. "We go further together" - African proverb Watch here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnGg... #Community #SoftwareEngineer #Tech #Torc #100Devs

Merry Christmas!!!

Today I had a great chat with @artemisbytes.bsky.social. We talked about everything from TanStack to MF DOOM and Spartan Racing, which, by the way, I can't wait to do. #CYC #100Devs #SoftwareEngineering

Currently watching #GitKon 2025. This virtual conference is for devs & engineering leaders who want to elevate the craft of software delivery. #SoftwareEngineering #AI gitkon.com

Sun up, sun down; always refining how I build. Updated a data-fetching hook so the function owns its AbortController. This setup lets me trigger the `.abort()` from the hook and any external calls. #development #React #TypeScript #WebDevelopment #DeveloperCommunity

I had the pleasure of meeting Samantha today. We had a great chat about: - Anime - #100Devs - System design - Content creation and more... This reminds me why I value community so much. I'm walking away with a new level of insight. #CodeJourney #SoftwareEngineering

440 plus strong! There is power in community. #100Devs #SoftwareEngineering #Community

There's power in showing up! This morning's focus: DSAs AWS MCP Building in Nextjs www.youtube.com/shorts/JPrty... #SoftwareEngineering #Motivation #Code

There are no 20 PT shots. You have to keep pushing one play at a time. #100devs #softwareEngineering #CodingJourney #Motivation youtube.com/shorts/Muuiw...

Off to a late start today after studying & building to 2 am this morning. I hope this backup (large amounts of Earl Grey) comes quickly. 😢 😅 🫖 #CodingJourney #SoftwareEngineering

I had a chance to catch up with my good friend Ines. Every time we chat, it's like we haven't missed a beat. #SoftwareEngineering #CodingJourney
