Hi everyone, I need some advice regarding Google Play Console closed testing.

My Play Console currently shows that I have 5 days remaining to complete the required testing period. However, I'm also using AppHive for active testing, where around 16–17 developers test my app daily, and our AppHive testing period still has 9 days remaining.

I also have additional testers outside AppHive, including friends.

My question is: Should I apply for production access as soon as Play Console completes the remaining 5 days, or would it be better to wait another 4 days and finish the full AppHive testing period before applying for production?

Has anyone been in a similar situation?

Hi, after the closed testing period finishes, I wanted to know what to do to publish my app. How do I answer the Google questionnaire? Is it okay if I use AI to write the answers, or should I write them in my own words based on testing? I mean, for the part where I use AI, I'll summarize the feedback and changes to my app based on the closed testing

I mean gets ko some of the companies use ai interview for screening. pero grabe ung pressure kapag iniinterview ka ng AI. tapos alam sa sarili mo na papanoorin ka ng HR kasi recorded ung video interview mo kay ai.

Feeling ko talaga hindi maganda yon sa mga screening ng jobs. dagdag pressure lng sa tao imbis na tao lang din nag iinterview sayo in the first place. parang added pressure lng yon sa ini interview.

imagine habang pinapanood ng HR ung video recorded ai interview mo. maiisip mo na tinatawanan ka. un ung feedback ko sa sa norms ngayon sobarng gago. mejo hirap pa nmn ako minsan explain tas AI pa ung kausap mo. hahaahaha. what you think guys?

I needed help badly I have a problem in my house there is this longanisahan factory beside my house.

My problems were

1. Bad odor in our environment, outside our house it smells so bad it often smells like rotten meat.

2. Rat infestation

3. Cockroaches are coming out of the drainaige as if our house is in the public market during heavy rain

And now recently there is this heavyrain yesterday and it didn't flood outside but it was just 2 hours of heavy rain, it leaked around our door or wall and the water smelled so bad. I would get it if it was normal rain water but I have encountered this problem before and it smells so bad. The smell has almost entered our room. The water is clear but the smell is shit. The whole living room and even my room smelled like a meat waste market. The amount of water is few, but it's terrible. I was so frustrated by what happened.

Then I went to them and talked to their staff to show and go to what was happening inside the house. Then we went to their boss

Now the owner of that factory is the current barangay captain of our place. Then his wife is our city councilor. It's okay to talk to the councilor but his wife is still the one who is angry, she insists that it's not from her and there's no smell. And there was no flood and overflow outside but their drainage leaked to us. For the context, their factory is about 2ft high. So our house is below. The brgy captain told me that he should be the one solving our town. He almost cursed at me and raised his voice. That's how I reacted. You probably entered your own house through the drainage, which is not from the rain flood. Can't you calm down? He told me a lot that I wanted to hit him. But I'm not afraid of him. His wife just stopped us.

Actually this is the second time this has happened. But it's still the same. So now I don't know where to complain because they're both in the public service. Maybe my complaint will just be ignored.

I'm almost two months unemployed now as of July 22nd.

I have almost three years of experience as a Unity developer. It's hard to find a new job right now. I'm a career shifter, by the way.

How do you guys keep up with new technology trends? I even want to shift to C# and .NET since I use those through the Unity game engine.

The market is tough, I know, but I just want to ask how those who lost their jobs are finding new ones now.
