Not all riders/couriers are A*Holes.........Some are still honest people that are fighting for their lives on a daily basis.

I ordered a product just before 8.8 and was not at all expecting it to receive anytime soon. It is also not a product that I'm in a hurry to receive. Usually even with heavy downpour, most of our courier around our area will still push through with their delivery with a smile. Kahit simpleng kamusta lang sa kanila sasabihin parin nila na ok lang mapa tirik ang araw or buhos ng ulan, karugtong ng kelangan kumayod para sa pamilya eh. I'm pretty sure I'm one of the lucky ones na so far maayos yung courier/delivery riders within their route/area even with expensive packages they are delivered safely and in a very timely manner.

Sa dinami dami ng bagyo, first time ko lang makita yung reason na "Disasters" and it struck a thought in me na sana lahat ng lumalaban ng patas eh magkaron din chance pumaldo sa buhay.......without going into political matters.....sana magkaron din ng mga tamang kasagutan at managot ang dapat managot sa mga proyekto na dapat matagal ng solusyon sa mga problema natin bawat sakuna.....

**The photo that the rider attached is nowhere near our area and yes it obviously looks shallow......but I'm pretty sure along his route, marami ring daanan na hindi na passable (especially if familiar ka dito sa Imus) and it seems like he took the risk of not finishing his delivery rather than risk his life and motorcycle along with the packages.**

Hopefully, meron din kayong kwentong positive sa mga rider/courier nyo........pang kontra lang dun sa mga nababasa natin lage na scam or issue parati..

I haven't touched any programming tools for the past 15 years but it felt like I never left...............with a little help from AI

Dunno if this is the right community and if this is the right flair.

I studied IT back in uni and safe to say my career path after graduating was not as I hoped it to be. My IT knowledge (and I guess skills) weren't really put to good use when I think of it. I did not study any specific programming languages but I had a very intermediate understanding of the common ones at least beyond displaying "Hello World". Back then, we really had to rely on physical books and a bit of W3Schools as one of the most helpful online tools to get you started with (Aside from forums and repositories). Fast forward to now, when my programming skills were almost fading and my general IT skills not even earning any "buff" and with my hobby mostly taking up most of my recent time, I then wondered whether a specific tool or application is already created for such a niche that I had.

So a quick background on what I worked on is I'm mostly into K-pop as my interest and hobby and there's this specific Social Media website that artists use where they share posts/photos/videos and I usually keep myself updated with a specific artists posts and photos. I tried to search and look for a scraper that will automatically save posts even when I "missed" one. When I couldn't come up with any available results, I then asked ChatGPT if it could help me on it and behold it presented a framework and possible options that I could go for. (As far as I know, the website doesn't have an available API and does not appear to have any 3rd party tools that are of the same use) After a few hours, I was deep into Python and even integrating an SQLite Database into it and finished my scraper tool "Beta" version with a CLI. I was incredibly surprised as to how quickly I got back into it and how "accurate" ChatGPT's help with Debugging and even suggesting workflows to such a niche that probably isn't to everyone's cup of tea. At this point, I'm baffled how it specifically catered to what I needed and how I needed things to be done, whereas before you either need to follow specific paths or simply discover them on your own. Also if you're wondering, I just have the free ChatGPT account and model.

TL;DR: I haven't programmed anything for the past decade and I started from scratch again but with the help of AI to develop a scraper tool from a specific website catered to K-pop.
