Community is always the cheat code. Whether you’re building your next MERN project, working in the garden, or reading a new book, having people around to share ideas and learn from makes everything better.
Leon Noel and Danny Thompson know what's up -
@torc.dev is kicking off the year strong with our first workshop of 2026 today! 🎉 This is a two part event with Rizel Scarlett 🇦🇬🇬🇾 to explore goose, an open-source AI agent.
Get hands-on with agentic patterns, automate workflows, and leverage AI.
HNY! Proud to be a @torc.dev ambassador for another round! Last year pushed me to grow in ways I never expected — new connections, bold challenges, and lessons I’m carrying forward. Ready for another year of chaos, creativity, and whatever shenanigans the Yappybaras drag me into.
We got games, giveaways, movies, trolls, what else do you want? come join the party

What better way to start the new year than with a workshop diving into AI/ML in clinical care. Excited to tackle bottlenecks in healthcare logistics, operations, and discover smarter ways to improve efficiency and patient outcomes. Ready to learn and grow
It was an honor getting to talk to both of you in CYC 2025! Can't wait for the next one.
My takeaways from the @freeCodeCamp podcast epi with @ossia and @acolombiadev, TMTC (Too Many to Count), every single topic covered here was mind-bending!
New favorite quote: "Re-rack your dang weights after use 💪!"
Choosing the right tool can be tricky. For example, to hang a painting, you need a screwdriver—not an impact driver.
Always weigh scenarios, benefits, and use cases.
I built an algorithm tool to help identify the best analytics solution for each situation.

Another option is through Extracts, which can be scheduled or ad-hoc pulls of data. These are used for analytics or integration with data warehouses. Billing and insurance transactions are frequently pulled through extracts on a regular basis to check services rendered.
A year ago, when I joined my analytics team I wondered, how are external tools utilized in healthcare?
Interfaces (RESTful APIs), enable real-time communication. One of the most commonly used interfaces is HL7, which defines message formats for data exchange.
Angelos and Calypso, two community besties talking about tech, skills in the industry, hobbies, and life. 🙌 #torc

@jordynww.bsky.social isn’t just a blogger or ambassador—she’s a friend I made in the mad house we call @torc.dev (jkjk).
She’s helped so many (me included!) that we’ve dubbed her “Tech Barbie.”
Brains 💻, heart 💖, style 👠 she’s got it all.
Cheers friend!
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 promise I wasn’t talking to myself 🤣
Had and awesome convo with @opaleyesky.bsky.social whom I met at @commityourcode.bsky.social
We shared our experiences, anecdotes growing up in a hispanic home, and yes red haired Shakira is the best version of her 😎
Open Source is one engine behind today’s data revolution. Python building, React displaying, PostgreSQL storing, and Linux running the show. #RenderATL is highlighting the heroes behind Open Source Contribute, Collaborate, Innovate.
Last week, I traveled to Dallas for @commityourcode.bsky.social
From Pickleball to karaoke, tech convos to socials; there is a thing for everyone here.
I left Texas with a smile, new friends, and the book on AI, ready to tackle and apply what I learned!
Started my reading on Design Patterns.
- Creational focuses on object creation, ensuring flexibility and reusability
- Structural deals with object composition, simplifying relationships
- Behavioral manages object interaction, enhancing communication
After a refreshing week offline with family and loved ones, I'm back and ready to innovate.
This week, I'm working on developing a dynamic system for building dashboards and components.
Took a break from social media to spend it with the family.
Battery is recharged, tons of things to work on!
Trying to step out of my if-else logic comfort zone. Decided to test switch-case conditionals instead. Starting to see where I can apply more switches
Testing Nullish coallescing operator [??].
In short, if the left-side expression is null or undefined, it will return the right-side expression. Since we have no room number assigned, it will return the "Room not assigned" message.
Testing controller code for submitting transport requests. Image is optional, but name, date of birth, and locations are required to ensure the correct patient logistics. So far, it's working! Can't wait to break the app again and figure out the new errors.
Starting to like TypeScript more each day. Testing hospital logistics by calculating occupancy. Best way to learn a new concept? Write code: bed definitions are clear, but understanding the difference in physical/licensed/staffed beds is the tricky part.
The three legends of the industry (@dthompsondev.bsky.social, @quincy.bsky.social, & @leonnoel.bsky.social) are back at it again, this time with our Torc MC/golfer Jason!!! Can't wait for this convo on modern Web. See you there!
This past week was busy! I completed my Clinical Data Models class, tested some builds in WebStorm, and learned a bunch of neat features on coding with AI agents (GitHub Copilot, Junie, and RooCode). Time to touch grass!
The team over at @thisdotlabs.bsky.social came through with the swag drop, huge thanks to Tracy, @dthompsondev.bsky.social, and everyone who made the last AI mini conference happen. Let’s keep committing to the progress, not just the agent.

Big week ahead! I'll be taking my next class, Clinical Data Models. This course will help me get more exposure to core tables and clinical concepts, while still combining Caboodle and Clarity data points. Excited to enhance my skills to the next level!
#ClinicalData
Today I had the pleasure of chatting with @technolangey.bsky.social! By the way, Arsenal is definitely taking the EPL this season, no doubts about it. You've been a fantastic colleague since day one, and it's been great to see all the amazing things you're working on.
#TorcAmbassador
Last week, @mary.win, our Torc Ambassador, delivered her first tech conference talk at @laravel.com! Her expertise in databases and her stellar presentation on system design left the audience in awe.
Way to go, Mary!
