building my career through the tech community #techjobs #techcareer #techcommunity

how community kind of builds on itself. And this was talked about last night about how like just getting in and networking is a compounding effect. So the woman Maggie, who basically hooked us up with the sponsorship last night at the Next Play event, she introduced me and, you know, he's a community builder. So now we're doing lunch, right? Just kind of compounds on itself. And I made a LinkedIn post today and I just think it's a surreal moment and I never forget like really where I came from. 'Cause I remember like in Nashville, when I moved to Nashville in 2011, like stepping into a meetup. And like, I used to be scared to go to meetups, right? Like, I didn't know anybody. Like, I didn't know tech, and I still don't know tech, right? And like, being able to like fly to Amsterdam and like drop into the city and get connected to a meetup community, and then now going to lunch with another individual who I was introduced to. I don't know, it's just crazy to think about, um, just my journey and, and just really the power of community. Again, like, I always preach to developers like, get a part of the Torque community, getting part of a community. But like, I'm a part of other communities too.
