Hey CreateHER,

Now, here's what we've got for you this week:

🫂 Something from Us: Upcoming Job Readiness Panel!

On Thursday, May 7 from 3–4:15 PM ET, we're hosting a free live Job Readiness Workshop + Panel with three women who have navigated the current job market — AI screening, "culture fit" rejection emails, resume gaps, LinkedIn, all of it.

Your panelists:

• Neha Rathi — Quality Engineer II and AI/ML practitioner

• Khushboo Nigam — Principal Cloud Architect at Oracle

• Jazmine Walker — AI Strategist and LinkedIn personal branding expert

We’re getting real about what hiring managers are looking for, mistakes you might be making in your resumes, the role of AI today in the job market, and approaches for interviews for different personality types!

👀  Something New: Harness Engineering?

Okay don’t panic but there’s a new term floating around that we had to talk about! Harness Engineering.

Prompt engineering was the first era. You typed your first ChatGPT prompt, it gave you something off, you rewrote it more carefully, and eventually got what you needed. That craft of writing better instructions — that was prompt engineering.

Context engineering came next. You stopped starting from scratch and started pasting in the job description, your resume, three examples, the specific format you wanted. You learned that what you put around the prompt mattered as much as the prompt itself. Check out the Context Engineering workshop with co-founder, Darlyze Calixte, if you’re wondering how it works!

Harness engineering is where we are now. It's the shift from crafting individual prompts to building systems — templates, rules, feedback loops, structured environments — so the AI produces what you need consistently, without you having to think through it every single time. You're not writing better instructions anymore. You're designing the conditions that make good outputs inevitable and more importantly…reproducible.

Now you maybe be thinking “Oh great, something new I have to learn YET AGAIN! But don’t worry, nothing you learned is wasted. Harness engineering doesn't replace what came before, it contains it. We’re building with Legos over here!

😍 Something we LOVE: Vibe Coding Supper Club

If you're in Atlanta or can get there — COME OUTSIDE!

2twelve Studio is hosting a Vibe Coding Supper Club on Wednesday, May 13 from 7–9PM at Memento Art Gallery in Atlanta, GA. It's an intimate, women-only build night where you walk in with an idea and walk out with something live on the internet (and new friends!). Two tracks:

• Claude + AI Tools (slightly hands-on)

• No-Code AI Tools (pure vibes and prompts).

This is exactly the kind of space we love to see exist — small, specific, and designed for us, by us.

Aaaand…it’s free 👀

🤗 Something from the Community

Darlyze, our co-founder, just landed a new role as Developer Marketing Manager at Devpost!

For those who don't know Devpost: it's the largest hackathon platform in the world. The place where our community has submitted projects, won prizes, and built portfolios.

A Note from Darlyze: I wanted to include this not just to celebrate — though trust me a time was had — but because this is exactly what CreateHER Fest exists for. Building skills, showing up, and landing roles that are aligned. I’m incredibly grateful for every bit of support this community has offered me:

• A place to build my skills that directly led to me getting this role

• People I could vent to during my interview process (shoutout to the Discord)

• Participants who attended our workshops and our programming

• Mentors and Advocates who spoke life into me (shoutout to Dani Ratner at Devpost and all my references who spoke so highly of me!)

• And a co-founder who held me DOWN! 😭 

Anyway, I’m not crying, I’m sweating out of my eyes but connect with me on LinkedIn and X as this journey continues and stay tuned for everything I’m doing with Devpost!!
