While TorontoJS is not affiliated, we love seeing folx help out the tech community in innovative ways! Some of our community members have already gained experience through TBD(); found work, while helping with tobedetermined.dev.
Our very own TorontoJS community member, Jacoub Bondre, is starting a different kind of agency where less experienced devs from marginal backgrounds get to learn and work on projects while more experienced devs mentor them. tobedetermined.dev/

Some of the favorite resources shared at @torontojs:
- @excalidraw for quick, low fidelity diagrams
- mermaid-js for embedding state diagrams into markdown
- @statelyai vizualizer for creating the state diagrams from code
Thanks to all these creators!
Looks like @hipsterbrown’s talk last night at @torontojs went as I’d expect for Nick - “very inspiring” “expert level” is the response from Slack 👏🏽👏🏽

My kid had to choose art or programming as an elective next year, and she chose art. I'm fine with this because I can teach programming but I can't teach art. But what kind of choice is that?? #bothplease
I hate to say this but please don't send PRs to popular projects where the change is purely stylistic (e.g. changing chained if to early return and vice versa)
The maintainers already get tons of PRs everyday and to them such PRs are just extra work with no benefits.
