Title: 28, graduating after 6 years because of health issues — is it too late to start in tech?

I'm 28 and finally about to finish my degree at IIT. Because of some health issues, what should normally have taken around 4 years ended up taking me 6.

As graduation gets closer, I've been getting more anxious about the job market. Seeing how competitive the software industry is right now honestly makes me question whether I'll be able to get my foot in the door.

I'd really like to hear from people who recently managed to land an internship, Associate Software Engineer, or other entry-level role, especially if your journey wasn't straightforward.

How did you get your first opportunity? What actually helped you stand out projects, networking, referrals, open source, internships, something else?

And at 28, am I already at a disadvantage trying to enter the industry as a fresh graduate? Would you recommend continuing to push for software jobs, or should I also seriously consider opportunities in academia/research?

I'm not looking for sugar-coating just some perspective and practical advice from people who have been through the current job market.

I used to think social media scheduling tools were already a solved and overcrowded market.

But recently I’ve been seeing more new tools in this space(Surprisingly making good revenue), especially ones mixed with AI features, content planning, or niche workflows. That made me question whether there’s still demand here, or whether these products are succeeding because they target very specific users.

do you think a new scheduler-style product still has room in 2026, or is it only worth building if it has a strong niche angle?

I'm on the $20 ChatGPT Plus plan mainly using Codex. Thinking of switching to Claude Pro.

For those who've used both recently(june 2026) , is it worth it? Mainly interested in coding quality, agent experience, and rate limits.

I’m currently on the $20 Codex plan, but the rate limits are getting really annoying. I can’t go above $20/month since that’s already expensive for me.

I’m thinking of switching to Cursor. How are the limits and code quality compared to Codex?

My work is mostly Next.js, Node.js, and small/medium web projects. Is Cursor a better daily driver, or should I stick with Codex?

I’m building an early app idea called Rep-Ai.

The goal is to help patients and caregivers manage the everyday parts of care that usually get scattered: medical records, scans, medicine routines, refills, recovery photos, and doctor visit prep.

Rep-Ai would include:

• private medical report and CT/MRI/X-ray storage
• medicine reminders with snooze/grace time
• medicine supply and refill alerts
• optional caregiver notifications
• recovery photo tracking and timelapse creation
• simple doctor-ready briefs before appointments
• AI/OCR report review, with user approval before saving

It’s not for diagnosis or treatment advice. It’s more about staying organized, consistent, and prepared.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback on whether this feels useful, too broad, or already solved well by existing apps.

I’m working on an app idea called Rep-Ai and would love some feedback.

The idea is to help patients and caregivers keep important health information in one private place instead of spreading it across folders, WhatsApp, reminder apps, and memory.

Rep-Ai would help users:

• save medical reports, prescriptions, CT/MRI/X-ray files, and doctor notes
• organize everything into a simple health timeline
• set medicine reminders with snooze/grace time
• track medicine supply and refill alerts
• optionally notify a caregiver when medicine is running low
• log recovery photos over time
• create recovery timelapse stories
• prepare a simple doctor-visit brief

It is not a diagnosis app and it does not give treatment advice. The goal is organization, reminders, recovery tracking, and better preparation before appointments.

I’m mainly trying to understand if this feels genuinely useful or if the scope feels too broad.

I’m working on an idea called Rep-Ai and need honest feedback.

The problem is simple: health stuff gets scattered everywhere.

Reports in folders.
Prescriptions in WhatsApp.
CT/MRI files somewhere else.
Medicine reminders in another app.
Refills mostly in memory.
Recovery photos not organized.

Rep-Ai would bring these into one private app:

• save reports, prescriptions, CT/MRI/X-ray files, and notes
• set medicine reminders with snooze/grace time
• track medicine supply and refill alerts
• optionally alert a caregiver
• log recovery photos and create timelapse stories
• prepare a simple doctor-visit brief

Not diagnosis. Not treatment advice. Just organization, reminders, and progress tracking.

Would something like this be useful, or does it feel like too much in one app?

I’m working on an idea called Rep-Ai and need honest feedback.

The problem I’m trying to solve: health stuff gets messy fast.

Medical reports, CT/MRI files, prescriptions, medicine reminders, refill tracking, doctor notes, and recovery photos usually live in different places.

Rep-Ai would bring them into one private care app.

Main idea:

• save reports, scans, prescriptions, and notes
• set medicine reminders with snooze/grace time
• track medicine supply and refill alerts
• optionally alert a caregiver
• log recovery photos and create timelapse stories
• prepare a simple doctor-visit brief

It’s not for diagnosis or treatment advice just organization, reminders, and progress tracking.

Would this be useful, or is it too much for one app?

Rep-Ai would be a private care companion to keep these things in one place.

It would help users:

- set medicine reminders with snooze/grace time

- track medicine supply and refill alerts

- share refill alerts with a caregiver if allowed

- log recovery photos and create timelapse stories

I’ve been thinking about this because managing health stuff can become messy really fast.

Reports are in one place, prescriptions somewhere else, medicine reminders in another app, refill tracking is mostly memory, and recovery photos/notes are usually not organized at all.

I know apps like Guava and other health record apps already exist, but I’m thinking about building something more casual and daily-use less like a serious medical folder, more like a private care companion that helps you stay consistent.

The idea is Rep-Ai:

• save reports, prescriptions, CT/MRI/X-ray files, and doctor notes
• set medicine reminders with snooze/grace time
• track medicine supply/refills
• share refill alerts with a caregiver if allowed
• log recovery photos over time
• create a recovery timelapse you can keep private or share
• prepare a simple doctor-visit brief

Not diagnosis. Not treatment advice. Just organization, reminders, and progress tracking in a more calm/fun way.

Would something like this actually help, or would it feel like “just another health app”?

Hey guys,

I'm currently on the OpenCode Go plan and want to use Codex for planning and MiniMax for implementation.

However, whenever I try to use them together via OpenCode Go, Codex constantly throws connection errors even though my actual internet connection is perfectly fine.

Is there a better, more stable way to combine and use two models like this? What is the recommended way to configure OpenCode to handle a multi-model setup smoothly? is pi agent better than opencode for multimodel routing ?

Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone 👋

I’m currently using the $20 Codex plan, but the rate limits feel too restrictive.

I’m thinking about switching to either Cursor $20 or OpenCode Go. I’m an intermittent user, but I still need a solid daily-driver coding agent, mainly for frontend work, and it should also be okayish/good enough for backend.

For people who used both: which has better limits, coding quality, and value? Also, how good is Kimi on OpenCode Go compared to Cursor for frontend/backend?

TIA

Hey everyone,

I built a small open-source skill that lets a coding agent create OpenGraph images for a project.

The idea is simple: the agent scans the project, creates an editable .ogdoc file, opens it in a small visual editor, and lets you preview/tweak/export the OG image locally.

It is still early. The UI and editing flow need more work, but the basic flow is working.

Install:

npx skills add -g Rajikshank/opengraph-creator --skill opengraph-creator --agent "*" -y

TIA.

Hey everyone,

I kept running into a small but annoying problem.

When I build side projects, I usually leave the Open Graph image for the end. Then I either make something quickly in a design tool, use a plain screenshot, or just ignore it completely.

So I built a small open-source project called OpenGraph Creator.

It is a skill for coding agents.

The idea is:

Your agent can inspect your app, create an editable OG image, open it in a local studio, and wait for you to review it before adding the final image to your project.

Install:

npx skills add -g Rajikshank/opengraph-creator --skill opengraph-creator --agent "*" -y

What it does right now:

- looks at your app/repo context

- creates an editable .ogdoc file

- opens a local studio

- lets you edit, preview, and export the image

- only wires it into your app after approval

It does not use image generation APIs. The goal is not to magically generate fancy art. I wanted the agent to create a decent editable starting point, and then let the human clean it up before publishing.

I’m still not fully sure if this is useful enough as a standalone tool, or if OG images are too small of a problem.

But I think this workflow could make sense for people already using Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, or similar tools.
