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

I’ve always been in spaces where community matters. Officially becoming a @torc.dev Ambassador is a natural progression. I’m excited to contribute & add value. I’ll be sharing insights on: - modern hiring - career growth - exclusive virtual events - community driven content #community #Torc

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

Stopped by Cabin tonight for a talk on AI. Got a chance to see their philosophy on AI use & how they're using the current tools. Had a great time! @only1yanique.bsky.social #AI #CodingJourney #SoftwareEngineer #DeveloperCommunity #100Devs

Trying #RCCola for the 1st time while debugging. #CodingJourney #SoftwareEngineer #Torc

🔒N!

Good morning! #CodingJourney #100Devs #KeepGoing #SoftwareEngineer youtu.be/BBkPloveytg?...

Have you found your why? youtube.com/shorts/FMLEc... #CodingJourney #100Devs #SoftwareEngineer

I had the pleasure of meeting @amandamayfield.bsky.social . What a wonderful convo. I found out that we are both tinkers and they have an eye for design. #CodingJourney #100Devs #SoftwareEngineer

Had a great chat w/ @choir241.bsky.social "The Coffee Chat King"! We shared our love for community and our tech journey. Thank you for introducing me to Hatsune Miku. #100Devs #CodingJourney #SoftwareEngineer

I just had an amazing chat w/ Davonne There is nothing like community. Thanks! #Torc #100Devs #CYC #CodingJourney

Keep Going!!! #100Devs #Code #CodingJourney #Success

Reflecting on impactful lessons. #100Devs #codingJourney #SoftwareEngineer

Pumped to chat with #100Devs alum @marciac95.bsky.social in 60 mins to talk about Going from farming to data science Landing clients even in rural areas And getting the first paying customers for their apps ⤵️

Code & Community! It was great finding our tribe. #AllThingsOpen #ATO2025 #Community #CodingJourney

Had a great time at the @torc.dev booth @allthingsopen.bsky.social ! @only1yanique.bsky.social @tdesseyn.bsky.social #ATO2025

It was great meeting everyone IRL. Had a blast!

Ok y'all, if you are interested in learning effectively, stop what you are doing and go watch The Programming Pod. I've already gone back for a 2nd watch. This was such an awesome conversation. #100Devs #100DaysOfCode #Code #Dev #Learning www.youtube.com/watch?v=si_Z...

Today's project had me thinking about auth. Checking auth only in the main file can be a security gap. A better approach is to verify access on each page. This makes it easier to lock down specific pages (e.g., only owner can view, edit, etc.) #ReactJS #CodingJourney #Tech #Dev

So many gems in this one today! Freakin Barbara Oakley, referencing stand and deliver, blast from my former math teaching past for real. #theprogrammingpodcast @leonnoel.bsky.social @dthompsondev.bsky.social

Consolidated my auth logic into a single, custom hook. My form submissions now check state.type & behave accordingly. Having everything in one place means: - Less code duplication - Consistent behavior - Easier to maintain #ReactJS #TypeScript #100Devs #CodingJourney

Yesterday, #100Devs talked about crafting a story that gets you hired! Today @grahammcbain.bsky.social who went from bootcamp grad to Senior Developer Advocate working on Amp Code is Telling their story, breaking down the agentic coding space, & giving everyone free credits in 30 mins!

I've helped 1000+ people get jobs in tech This is the most amount of interviews, callbacks & offers I've seen in almost two years For the next 30 days, I'm going live on Discord every day to help you land one too! If you are feeling stuck, join us in 15mins leonnoel.com/discord

I finally full-sent it and dropped my 1st video. 🔗 Link in the comments #100devs #codeJourney
