I think this is a great idea and look forward to joining. I keep seeing others stumble on the "coding isn't all you need" kink in the carpet, and I'm personally trying to get all the help I can navigating a move to Big Tech Inc., where I'm having some challenges.

It seems like it will fill a niche that's left unfulfilled by communities like Blind which are... let's say "cynical".

Exactly -- that's actually the most common reason for people to join Taro today. There's a huge emphasis on interview questions (DSA) and building side projects to get into Big Tech, but these skills don't help you succeed in the job.

One way we think about Taro is a way to "fill in the gap" for what students don't learn in their CS degree or in a bootcamp.

Looking forward to having you with us! That carpet kink got me hard earlier in my career, haha.
