Why this community exists
There’s a fast-growing group of people who are somewhat technical, but not quite developers. We are building with AI, no-code, and scripts and we don’t fit neatly into existing technical spaces.
We are leaders or ICs at Fortune 500 companies, startups, or SaaS. We come together, regardless of title, to share, learn and build in this community.
Found a Place
Not quite a fit in traditional dev communities that focus purely on code syntax.
Outcome Focused
Focused on getting things to market, building tools for ourselves, or automating our companies.
Solo Builders
Most of us build alone, reinventing wheels. Semitechnical gives this group a shared home.
Who this is for
Not for...
- • Absolute beginners
- • People looking to "learn to code from scratch"
- • Crypto, hype, or get-rich-quick builders
- • Theory-only AI discussion
This IS for people who...
- • Reason about systems, workflows, and data
- • Want to build in community, and not alone
- • Build tools for ourselves or the market

Why "Semitechnical"?
After renovating my kitchen, I found a company called Semihandmade—they build beautiful doors for IKEA kitchens. Not fully handmade. Not fully mass produced. High value outcome.
If this resonates,
this community is for you.
