did resume reviews this week in the @torcdotdev discord here are some issues people are still having

>still lacking a good concise professional summary at the top recapping their career in years of experience

>too much bold font.

>not enough what did YOU accomplish

this doesn't surprise me one bit.

more layoffs = more people creating more businesses

more businesses = more need for engineers

idk if it’s just my algo but the amount of chatter i’ve seen on the importance of in person events is wild.

the companies who know how to run execute and create meaningful in person experiences are going to win

the future of work conversation is stuck on jobs

the more interesting question is skills

what can you do, not what have you done

that's the shift ai is actually forcing

the hardest part of building community at scale isn't the tech or the content

it's getting people to feel like they belong to something before they see the results of it

that gap is where most programs fail

stop trying to "grow" your community. start trying to serve it. the growth takes care of itself.

music artists bringing on other music artists on their record

fashion brands dropping collabs with other brands

thats how i think about partnerships with other companies with the @torcdotdev community

building community is not done overnight. it's doing repeatable tasks over and over again. for years.

best way to do targeted out reach.

take the jd and address the nice to haves in your message to decision makers.

the nice to haves are honestly the must haves in this market

if i had the @torcdotdev community model back when i recruited, i would’ve been 10x better. most recruiters lose touch because they have no system to stay top of mind. community solves that β€” events, content, comms, social. no more starting from zero every time.

hot take ai will create more jobs not less. ai job postings are up 250 percent in five years and software engineering is still one of the top three most in demand roles worldwide. layoffs don’t erase talent it just gets absorbed elsewhere or turns into new startups.
