I saw someone build a website in India where people can anonymously report bribes they’ve paid in public departments.
I thought: why not build the same for Pakistan?
So I built rishwat.pk 🇵🇰
If you’ve ever paid a bribe or know someone who has, please report it. Even one report helps build a clearer picture of corruption in Pakistan.
It’s completely anonymous. We don’t collect IP addresses or run analytics.
My goal is to build the **largest public dataset on bribes in Pakistan** and make the data useful for researchers, journalists, citizens, and policymakers.
So what’s with the hype of Google entering Pakistan, I mean is there any actual opportunities or what? And which city btw.
Does CS and SE create any difference in future? Considering one chooses one for BS degree. Will he lose something of other
Hey guys, so I'm a remote DevOps engineer working for a firm in UAE. Started working around an year and half ago with a salary of 80k. Then got two increments of 60,60k every six months. Currently I'm standing at 200k. They're asking for an expected increment again. How much should I ask for, I currently have 1.5 year of experience on MS Azure.
Give your suggestions
Hi everyone!
Over the past months, my friend and I have been working on Avenx.js, an open-source JavaScript framework that started as a school project and is growing into something much bigger.
Today I'd love to share what we've built, why we built it, and where we want to take it.
It's a fair question.
We didn't start Avenx.js because we thought the ecosystem needed yet another framework. We started it because we wanted to understand how modern frameworks work under the hood and explore what a simpler developer experience could look like.
As the project evolved, we focused on a few core principles:
Building a framework has been an incredible learning experience. We've learned about rendering, reactivity, tooling, package management, compiler design, documentation, testing, and many things we never expected to touch when we started.
One of the biggest milestones wasn't a feature or a release, it was receiving contributions from developers we had never met.
Seeing someone invest their own time into improving something you've built is incredibly motivating.
Today, Avenx.js has:
They're small numbers compared to established frameworks, but for us they represent real people who believed the project was worth contributing to.
We're nowhere near finished.
There are plenty of features to build, documentation to improve, bugs to fix, and ideas to explore. Every week we continue refining the framework and improving the developer experience.
We're building this because we genuinely enjoy it, and because we want to see how far an open-source project can grow through consistent work.
If you have experience building frameworks, libraries, or developer tooling, we'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts.
Constructive criticism is always welcome. Whether it's about the API, architecture, documentation, repository structure, or developer experience, we're happy to hear it.
We're also actively looking for contributors.
Whether you're making your first open-source contribution or you've contributed to many projects before, we'd love to have you involved.
There are issues ranging from documentation improvements to new features, and we've marked several beginner-friendly tasks to help people get started.
If Avenx.js looks interesting to you, feel free to check out the repository, leave feedback, open an issue, or submit a pull request.
Thanks for reading, and happy Showoff Saturday! 🚀
I feel like it's literally impossible to get a job. I just came across a LinkedIn profile that wanted to connect with me, and they completed a degree in biochemistry in 2024 and have since then been working as a data analyst for S&P Global. This feels like a hate crime, ngl. It ruined my day. I have not one, but 2 degrees, and I am STRUGGLING to land interviews in a similar domain.
I've sent cold DMs, I've sent emails. I got 4 interview calls in total, one of which was a shady company with awful timings I couldn't manage. One said I was technically underqualified since I hadn't done some courses, EVEN THO I WAS LITERALLY PERFECT FOR THE JOB. And one literally ghosted me; the last one never even bothered calling me back for an interview after the assessment, even though my assessment went great.
What else can I even do? Not give up? I feel like I need a support group of unemployed people- but then I think about how one of them might land a job, and I might accidentally kill them and take their job.
I graduated at the top of my class, and every time I see an employed person who can't even form a simple English sentence, it honestly pisses me off (there are plenty). THIS WORLD IS SO UNFAIR, I am so exhausted. HOW ARE WE PAYING THE HIGHEST FOR PETROL IN THE ENTIRE SOUTH ASIAN CONTINENT. WDYM I CAN'T EVEN BUY A HOUSE.
AOA
I recently got a role in one of the largest and most prestigious body of Pakistan in Digital Risk Supervision. I am a Software Engineering graduate and have never worked in Cybersecurity before and my training will end in a few months and I dont know anything about what technologies I need in Cybersecurity. Can someone tell me what techs I should learn for Cybersecurity.
Just received a call from Jazz HR. About how I have cleared the panel interview and she was telling me that there is going to be another interview next week talking to other stakeholders at Jazz???? I've seen other people here getting offers after the panel interviews so what's this?
Hello, I just wanted to know what should be the % rise to negotiate.
Making ~180k after 3 yrs in a bank.
New company (working out of a coworking space) between banks and vendors. My role concerns business development with banks and corporates.
How much can i ask as starting salary?
Would appreciate some guide.
Anyone know which city? Proper tech office or just for customer support etc etc.
Just wanted some information, if someone passes their first technical round, has the second round on the same day for ASE position (mobile), how long does it usually takes to get an update from the hr. And how likely it’s to get rejected after second round, even if you think it went well.
So this finally happened. I (I also posted a while ago here) published my wife's first game went live on the Play Store and I have been refreshing the console every ten minutes like it will change something.
It is a Ludo game. I know, I know, another Ludo game. But she was stubborn about doing it properly. Full 3D board, online play with friends, voice chat while you play, offline vs bots for when the internet dies, and way too many board themes that she obsessed over for weeks. Our house basically turned into a QA lab, phones charging everywhere, everyone kicking each other's tokens and calling it testing.
It is free and made completely here

AppStore: In Review
If you have five minutes, install it, try to break it, and tell me honestly what is bad. She reads everything, so be real. And if you enjoy it, a review on the store would genuinely make her day.
Happy to answer anything about the stack, publishing pain, Play Console drama, all of it.
Current seen people joining suparco as interns, is it good like it will give you value forward in your career like other software houses internships or it is just a time pass?

I joined this company as a flutterr trainee 4 months ago unpaid and they recently promoted me to junior dev (probation 3 months) at very low salary anyways thats not an issue as I gave skills more priority than money.
Just now they asked me to give original degree and signed blank cheque and i am not very comfortable subjutting my original degree.
Blank cheque might be becauae if i leave the company before 2 months notice period they will deduct 3 months salary lol. but why original degree.
and lastly they aint gonna releasw any salary unless all docs are submitted.
any advice please?
I’m a freelancer based in Pakistan and need to receive a $300 payment from a client in Mexico for website development.
What is the easiest and most reliable method—Payoneer payment request, bank transfer, or another option? I’m especially concerned about processing fees, currency conversion, and how easy it will be for the client to pay by card.
Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has received payments from Mexico to Pakistan.
I’ve checked my resume through multiple ATS checkers, and the scores vary quite a bit, roughly 70-88. I’d really appreciate an honest opinion from experienced AI/ML engineers, recruiters, or hiring managers. Is this resume good enough to get past the initial ATS/AI screening for junior/fresh grad AI/ML roles, and does it have what recruiters are actually looking for?
Is there anything important missing, weak, or something I should improve to increase my chances of landing a decent entry-level AI role? Honest criticism is welcome.
Hello, I'm so dumb, men. I want to cry badly. I'm a first-generation university-going student. I filled out the online form for my university and selected CS, S.E, and I.T, but I didn't pay the fee even though the deadline has passed. Since the deadline has passed, I visited the university to change my department to Computer Engr. The admission officer checked it and told me that since you have already filled out the form for CS. You can opt for that as well. We will talk with the bank guys. I didn't think and said you can select computer engineering for me, as its merit is lower than cs.
Now, once I came back home and when i looked up the Computer Engr scope on the internet. I got to know that I'm cooked.
Since I come from a pre-med background, I don't have good understanding of maths. The university offers deficiency courses, but still I'm studying basics from myself.
Please give me sincere advice on should i pursue C.E or take a gap year for CS.
Up for any legal gigs or part time work. I can help you manage your schedule, research work, I have excel Microsoft word skills as well. I can speak english and create assignments for you. Homework uni work I’ll do it.
Dm me with what you need+your budget
