Hi! I made AnimoChat, an anonymous chat site for Filipino students. It got traffic last year but crashed, so I rebuilt it properly and added icebreakers + mini-games so convos don’t die after “hi.”
just looking for feedback from students here.
It appeared out of nowhere. I'm kinda worried.
Trying to find alternatives kasi ang mahal ng AI haha, as of now ang nagamit kong AI are:
Opus 4.7/Claude- best for designing, 8/10 intelligence, mabilis maubos, pinakagusto ko yung skill feature nya kasi andaming open source na skill sa github like: get shit done, huashu design, superpowers, etc
GPT5.5/OpenAi - 9.5/intelligence, ito gamit ko pag di na kinaya ng ibang AI na gamit ko, Best for Speed, pero pinkamabilis din maubos
GLM5.1/Ollama - 7/10 intelligence, matagal maubos, medyo mabagal, pang harabas ko
What do you guys recommend yung medyo cheaper? so far kasi ang ginagawa ko GPT 5.5 for designing and hard solving, GLM5.1 pag nasa mid development, Opus 4.7 sa designing
Btw 6 years na po ako sa IT industry
Do you guys have any ideas which roles happens to be the best for entry level ITs who just graduated besides being an admin support?
I’ve been looking for cheaper alternatives for an SMS API. I found a 0.35 per message pero baka gisahin ng panelist kasi mahal DAW. May I have your suggestions for a cheaper one? Thank you!
Sorry if the question is stupid since malamang yung former programmers wala na dito.
The rise of AI coding is already here. Before sabi ko, no way AI can replace coding due to complexity and I WAS DEAD WRONG. Talo ako in every aspects.
Speed. Accuracy. Self-correcting. Error handling. Best practices. Always available. Hindi reklamador. Yung lamang ko nalang siguro is understanding business logic but even managers can do it.
The realization came when:
Since then, a year ago, the company I'm working with made a rule that we will no longer code and we will vibe-code onwards.
What we are really just doing right now is maintenance. The lack of meaningful tasks is demoralizing. Nawala na yung sense of accomplishment in solving/building complicated tasks.
Right now I'm only working 1~2hrs per day since ubos na yung tasks and I think termination is on the way. We terminated 5 developers 5 months ago and so d malabong mangyari din sakin.
So I wanna ask, what adventures/jobs in life are you on right now after leaving tech industry? No IT industry jobs please since ayaw ko na sa tech because of competition with AI.
Nakapagpundar naman ako ng rental properties at age 36 so I will survive even if losing a job but I don't want to live a meaningless life, i want to work at least 4hrs.
Nag start nako mag job seeking, and I find Stratpoint offerring a paid internship 450/day for 400hrs so approximately 22k matatanggap mo after end of internship.
Kaso lang nagaalinlangan ako if I go ko ba to or tuloy lang ako sa job seek for full time?
Planning to take the aws solutions architect exam but i want to know if it will be worth it for my career. I'm currently a front end developer looking to getting into cloud.
I used to post here that I was only concerned with AI at work, and then I was bashed as if I had no future in this industry.
Now, how are you? Why does the wind seem to have changed? Why do you seem a little nervous? Do you think it's easy to command AI agents? Well, most of you, you still think you're better than AI. Lol.
It's like you don't realize how progressive this industry is. While tech continues to progress, you yourself can't progress because you're too bitter. Lol.
Ngayon, habang may pagkakataon pang magbago ng mindset, magbago na kayo!
Ang taong marunong gumamit ng AI Agents at may clever mind ang magwawagi sa future. Mark my words.
15 yrs ago, I wanted to use my strength which is programming. I worked in IT industry for that long na. Fast forward, I realized I wasn't really able to build solid skills since paiba iba ako ng role. Nag back fire yung pagiging all around ko. I can't demand for higher asking price since I'm all arounder. Alam ko namang magaling ako but yeah, the fate is kinda not in my favor.
Problem/Goal: Am I lowballed? or it's just enough?
Context: Hey everyone, fresh grad here. Just got a job offer from a US company for a contract role,₱42,000/month, no HMO, no 13th month, no paid leaves. It's 9 hours a day, 5 days a week.
I've been job hunting for 2 weeks now, so this offer caught my attention. But before I sign anything, I want to get some real talk from people who've been there, especially fellow freelancers/remote workers.
So, r/adviceph, is ₱42k/mo with zero benefits worth it for a fresh grad? And is this actually competitive right now?
Previous Attemps: Asked my friends and they are getting 30k+/mo with benefits
I’m 30F and honestly scared about my future in tech.
I work as a frontend/web developer and I feel like I’m just average. I do my tasks, finish what needs to be done during my 8 hours, then log off. I’m not someone constantly building side projects, studying every night, or trying to become a tech lead.
I also don’t see myself becoming a manager or leader. I actually prefer being given tasks and just executing them well.
The thing is, I do like frontend development. But I keep wondering if companies still hire frontend devs in their 40s–50s, especially people who are not super ambitious or exceptional.
For people in their 40s–50s working in tech, did you ever feel this way? What did your career end up looking like?
Currently working for in municipal hall po pero iba po sa course ko kasi ako po ay nalagay sa field working currently may nakita po ako post na may nag hire po sila naghahanap po is devops which same sa course ko kaso problema ko po kasi for the 9 months hindi na po kasi ako nakapag programming tapos po wala din ako alam pa sa pagiging programmer hingi po sana ako sa inyo advice kung tuloy ko po ba or hanap pa po ako na ibang position na mas makakatulong sa akin as beginner programmer ty po sa advice paki delete nalang po kung bawal
Hey everyone,
I have 2 years of experience as a software engineer working with frontend (React), backend frameworks, SQL, and Shopify e-commerce. Currently, iniisip ko mag-transition into Salesforce development.
For those who jumped from traditional dev to Salesforce, kumusta naman ang transition overall? Mahirap ba mag-adjust?
Also, kamusta ang job market ngayon para sa mga traditional devs na nagpipivot sa Salesforce?
Currently nag aaral ako ng Javascript, absorbing fundamental lessons as much as possible tapos natututo ng totoong programming language.
Sa freecodecamp ako naggagrind pero hindi ko na tinapos yung html at css kasi sobrang daming aaralin. Pero confident ako kasi umabot nako sa animation part.
Ang hirap lang sakin is inooverthink ko masyado yung pag design ng ui manually like paggawa ng buttons with hovers, other components kahit na may sapat nakong knowledge para aralin yung css frameworks like tailwind. Hindi ko kasi alam kung how much fundamental is enough before i move on learning this stuff.
Pagdating naman sa javascript gusto ko talaga syang seryosohin kasi pag namaster ko yung principle ng programming is mas madali ng magtransition between other languages kasi mostly syntax lang pinagkaiba.
After that saka ko na aaralin yung react. Tapos hopefully matuto ng backend languages at gumawa ng database hanggang sa makapagdeploy nako ng project successfully. Sa ngayon yun yung roadmap ko as a fullstack dev, mahaba pa at hindi madali yung pagdadaanan pero mas mabuting masiguro ko na nasa right pathway ako habang maaga pa.
Wala pa kasi nag ga guide sakin kaya mahalaga yung insights nyo braders at sisters. Iba iba tayo ng learning journey pero anong maisasuggest nyo?
How do you know what’s the latest hot tech? Do you read forums? Join group chats? Befriend people who like to code side projects for fun?
paano mo masasabi sa sarili mo kung maalam kang developer kung nagamit ka rin ng AI tools? walang masama sa paggamit ng AI sa development pero paano nga ba malalaman kung pang-internship lang ang level mo or diretso sa employment na. genuine question ng isang comsci freshman please respect.
I’ve been building an Eloquent-inspired ORM for Bun called Bunny. I added a multi-tenant aware implementation because I am using this for a SaaS project of mine using Sveltekit + Bun.
It’s designed specifically for Bun’s native sql client, and it currently supports:
- SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL
- Zero runtime dependencies
- TypeScript-first API
- Chainable query builder
- Schema migrations and CLI
- Model relations, observers, soft deletes, and streaming helpers
- Interactive REPL with bunny repl
- Dynamic multi-tenant connection switching
- Landlord / tenant migration groups
- PostgreSQL schema switching and RLS support
A big focus for me has been making multi-tenant apps easier to reason about. The ORM supports tenant resolution at runtime, so apps can switch connections based on request context, subdomain, or header without hardcoding all tenants in config.
Example:
await TenantContext.run("acme", async () => {
const users = await User.all();
});
You can also put a resolveTenant function in bunny.config.ts and reuse the same config in the CLI and app bootstrap.
I’m sharing it here in case it’s useful to anyone building on Bun, especially if you’ve wanted an ORM that feels more like
Eloquent but is Bun-native.
Repo: https://github.com/bunnykit/orm
Would love feedback on:
- the API shape
- multi-tenant design
- SQLite/MySQL/Postgres support
- anything that feels awkward or missing
Currently earning 25k net as a remote full stack web dev, boss and coworkers are nice, work-life balance is great since it’s output based.
This is my first job and I’ve been working here for less than a year, but I want to leave already because I’m not learning anything and it’s not challenging. Team lead is incompetent. He doesn’t have standards, basta gumana, di man lang iniisip scalability, so nakakairita lagi pag nakakakita akong PR with spaghetti code na iaapprove niya. Just recently we had redo a feature kase inapprove nya yung PR kahit mali yung code, which he only realized after I pointed it out weeks later. As a somewhat perfectionist, I would try to optimize other people’s code since shared naman responsibilities namin, but at the same time I don’t want to overstep and micromanage lalo nat di naman ako team lead.
I want to learn and work with competent people, and I definitely can’t get that working for this company. The team lead knows just as much, if not less, than I do.
Hello everyone! I'm excited to announce that hiblaphp/postgres, built on top of ext-pgsql, is now available in beta, fully tested and can now be installed via Composer.
With this release, the core database drivers for Hibla are now complete alongside the Hibla MySQL client. My next goal is to build an asynchronous query builder with support for migrations and pagination before moving on to developing an HTTP server.
Some of the key features currently included are:
I'd really appreciate any feedback, whether it's feature suggestions, questions, or even harsh criticism. Every bit of feedback helps improve the project.
