Back at it again with a @torc.dev Yappy Hour this Friday! oh yeah and did I mention there's also a Yappy Hour en Español?? Best part is they are back-to-back and not at the same time so you can attend both if you want. ¡Dale! Events: luma.com/torc

i luv torc

As you know, the @torc.dev community can be some silly gooses. But we can also be serious gooses. And serious gooses use goose! But uh I actually have yet to give it a try... so I will definitely be catching this two part series! Come be a serious goose with us! 🪿

no joke this was one of the best, and most important, podcast episodes I have ever listened to. 100% recommend for current parents, soon-to-be parents, and anyone that has parents

I somehow was let back in as a @torc.dev Ambassador AGAIN for 2026! Last year was a blast and I'm looking forward to what this year has in store. A whole new round of meetups, coffee chats, expert panels, linkedin/resume reviews, mock interviews, co-working sessions, and memes. #torc #community

hey I'm doing this! really enjoying the book so far and now I'm here writing about it. I want to write more. So to write, I must read. oh and I wrote a blog post rambling about it all. Check it out if you want to peel back at the layers of my amazing mind: michaelraymond.dev/posts/writing/

one man, two man,

I did a thing! I got the Hacktoberfest 2025: Supercontributor badge from Hacktoberfest @hacktoberfest @digitalocean! www.holopin.io/hacktoberfes...

ok so the @torc.dev community is home to a bunch of cool devs, we know this. but a bunch of them have awesome blogs that should be followed... so I whipped up a lil site to aggregate the latest blog posts from members of the community. it's called... 🔥 blorc 🔥 check it out: blorc.netlify.app

The final boss of inline class names. Holy smokes.

Do you use a pomodoro app to stay focused? Do you get distracted looking for instrumental music on youtube? Do you use @raycast.com? If so, wow ok that's pretty specific! But also, if so, then maybe this lil post I made is of interest to you. michaelraymond.dev/posts/script...

yo wtf I can’t believe this is real

Spent too much time on this

Feeling stuck in tech? @leonnoel.bsky.social joined @tdesseyn.bsky.social to break down how community, mindset, and small wins can fuel real growth—without the burnout. 📺 Watch now and take back control of your tech journey.

You’re not behind. You’re learning, adapting, and building things that didn’t exist yesterday. That’s progress.

Better late than never. Super excited to rep @torc.dev as an official Ambassador! 🎉🎊 For those that don't know, Torc is a global community of devs just vibing and connecting. 🧵

Do you use homebrew? I feel like the Brewfile doesn't get enough shine, so I wrote a lil blurb about it. Check it out! or don't! michaelraymond.dev/posts/homebrew

I'm tired of people telling me 'Get well soon!' You wouldn't say that to someone with an incurable cancer, disease, or other health issue. Why would you say it to someone with Long COVID? Please take the time to read up research and people's first hand experiences if you don't understand enough.

Really enjoyed getting to know @choir241.bsky.social better. Really fun and super nice person. Richard, I know you're busy but you gotta do me a solid and finally watch the live action The Last of Us. It's too good!

Finally got the chance to have a coffee chat with @michaelraymond.dev after talking to them through all the @torc.dev events!!! Enjoyed getting to yap with him and nerd out about a variety of movies, we got pretty passionate about Avatar the Last Airbender 😁

Rest in peace:

ok but for real, why does it say my handle is invalid?? I messaged @support.bsky.team but they may be super busy. Does anyone know what I can do to troubleshoot? It's says my domain is verified in settings and I have the TXT record in my domain registrar 🫠 Any help is appreciated!

Revamped my blog/portfolio site ✨ Migrated from @hashnode.bsky.social to an @astro.build site hosted on @netlify.com. It's a blog, it's a portfolio, it's a ... blogolio! Check it out if you want, it's ok I guess michaelraymond.dev

TIL how to get google calendars that have been shared to you to show up in apple calendar. You go to this page that hasn't been touched since 2009 and make sure they are checked ☑️ calendar.google.com/calendar/u/0... like wat.. we should maybe keep this on the DL tho so google doesn't kill it

Always 💖 Don't make me tap the sign

The “we should be able to disagree and still be friends” people are about to work my last nerve. This mindset works with a lot of topics but not when the disagreement is around racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, etc.
