Me calculating if I can finish these tasks by EOD (I cannot).

Today wasn't flawless. But we handled it.

Last August, Jason Torres headed to LaraconUS and got to experience what 1,000+ Laravel developers in one place really feels like. The talks were great, but the real magic was in the conversations. Developers sharing ideas, and supporting each other. Tune into the vlog👇🏽 youtu.be/nnB-YIfnhiU?...

Fighting "Search Fatigue": A session on protecting your mental health while looking for work. Join @tdesseyn and @tasonjorres on Feb 26th at 1:30PM ET as they talk through navigating setbacks, protecting your energy, and staying ready for the right offer.

🔥 Yappy Hour en Español | 13 feb, 2PM EST Estado mental: 47 tabs abiertas, RAM al 99%, cerebro.exe no responde. Solución: Yappy Hour. Dejamos el código en pausa y activamos el modo social. Deadlines prohibidos, buena onda obligatoria. RSVP: luma.com/fm49jink #TorcCommunity #TorcEvents

How to actually use the Torc.dev Discord: Don’t lurk. Introduce yourself. Ask the “dumb” question. Join a convo. Show up to Yappy Hour. Community only works if you use it.

Progress doesn’t always look loud. Sometimes it looks like consistency.

Taylor Desseyn headed to Raleigh to speak at a 300+ person All Things Open meetup, and you could feel the energy in the room. The conversation was real talk about where tech careers are actually headed and how developers can stay relevant. This one’s worth a watch 👇 youtu.be/WSMwk5hnqvo?...

When a role truly fits, the conversation feels different. You’re not trying to translate who you are into something you’re not. You’re not forcing relevance. Your background makes sense in the context of the work. Your experience speaks for you.

It’s Wednesday. Not bad enough to panic. Not close enough to Friday.

Logging off for the day but mentally still in one Slack thread🫠

We built Yappy Hour for the moments that don’t fit into meetings or DMs. Just people showing up, talking, and connecting naturally. Acompáñanos los viernes ☕️💬

A year later, being back at Commit Your Code in Dallas hit different. Real conversations, real feedback, and real momentum. From dinners to booth chats, hearing directly from developers made it clear that something meaningful is taking shape.👇🏽 youtu.be/EiffChCeKvI?...

Reading your boss’s message and choosing peace.

Ending the day reminded that clarity usually comes after you stop staring at the screen.

Running a job search with 47 tabs open is not a strategy. (It’s just stress.) That's why we made the process easier.

What does building a tech community actually look like in 2026? Taylor Desseyn vlogs through what’s changing, what still matters, and why community isn’t just a buzzword...it’s the foundation. Check out this video on how we plan to make a bigger impact 👇🏽 youtu.be/5QVGcL9Wo74?...

It’s Monday. I’m here. That’s the update.

The best tech conversations aren’t happening on the timeline. We would know because they're happening in our discord: torc.dev/discord

Nobody tells you how much your tech career will change once AI enters the chat. Mark Thompson shares what actually matters when building a career right now — beyond titles, hype, and endless grind. Put this on while you work 👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3d6a...
