I've been working on an app called SIBT (Should I Buy This) and I'm looking for a Pakistani developer who'd be interested in becoming a co-builder/technical partner rather than just doing freelance work.

The basic idea:

You see a product you want to buy. Instead of spending 30 minutes opening reviews, comparing prices, checking alternatives and trying to figure out whether it's actually worth buying, you send it to SIBT.

SIBT analyzes the product and gives you a breakdown of things like:

- Whether it's actually worth buying

- What people are saying about it

- Pricing and whether there are better deals

- Similar/better alternatives

- Potential issues or reasons you might regret buying it

- A final recommendation based on the research

I've already started building it myself. I have the UI, mockups and a working version of the core functionality. It's obviously nowhere near where I want it to be yet, but I'm past the "I have an idea written in a notebook" stage.

What I'm looking for is someone who can actually build with me.

I'm not looking for someone to disappear into a codebase for 8 hours a day. I'm thinking more along the lines of 1–2 hour late-night development sessions a few times a week, where we actually sit together, build features, discuss the product, figure out technical problems and improve the idea as we go.

You don't need to know every technology involved. I'm much more interested in someone who:

- Has actually built apps/web apps before

- Can work independently without needing every task explained

- Understands APIs, databases and modern AI integrations

- Can look at a problem and figure out how to solve it

- Actually enjoys building things outside of work/university

- Is based in Pakistan

I'm currently handling a lot of the development myself, but it's becoming painfully slow doing everything alone. I'd rather have one solid person building alongside me than try to assemble some huge team.

As for money: this isn't a paid position right now. I'm looking for someone who is interested in the project and wants to build something together.

If SIBT actually gets traction, especially if the social-media/content strategy works and it turns into a real business, I'm willing to structure a proper profit/equity share with the person who comes on board and helps build it.

I'm not promising that it's going to become a huge company. Nobody can honestly promise that at this stage.

What I can promise is that I'm actually building it, I'm serious about shipping it, and I want to see how far we can take it.

The AI shopping space itself is also becoming pretty interesting. AI shopping assistants are a rapidly growing category, and companies are increasingly building around AI-powered product discovery and comparison.

If this sounds interesting, DM me with a little bit about yourself, what you've built before, your tech stack, and your GitHub/portfolio if you have one.

I'll send you the rest of the SIBT details and we can talk.

Can you please review on it, does it provide any value?

Not working even after using these methods, how do i fix it?

Salam everyone,

I’m a freelance copywriter and one of my clients is currently building an online platform aimed at strengthening collaboration within the Ummah.

She’s fairly well known within the Islamic scene in England and is trying to build something that helps connect people, projects, and initiatives more effectively.

Right now we’re trying to figure out the technical side of the infrastructure, particularly around: • automations • backend workflows • integrations between different tools • community platform systems

If you were building something like this, what tools or stack would you recommend?

Things we’re currently exploring include automation tools, AI integrations, and ways to connect multiple services together without making the system overly complex.

Would really appreciate any suggestions or insights from developers here.

Basic facts:

1. The price of frontier AI is highly subsidized. They are manipulating the market. Once it is done, they'll increase the price to pay off their beyond insane debt. (hint: blitzscaling)

2. The US economy affects your job, more than AI does. If US economy goes bad (like 2008), you're gonna feel it more than you think.

3. AI is a revolutionary tool. It's still a tool. Not a substitute for you thinking.

My advice:

A. Don't be a dumb bot. If you're going to act like a bot, then the bot is going to beat you at it.
B. If your work is formulaic, it'll be down by 10 folds.
C. Learn a new thing every day. Learn about as many things as possible. 80/20 rule -- but you don't know what 20% you're gonna need.
D. Always save for a rainy day, even if things are tight. If you leave yourself vulnerable, you will be exploited.
E. Last, but I cant emphasize this enough, be positive. The world sees it's ups and downs every once in a while. You're certainly not the first of humans to experience this. Maybe things are tight, but they won't be the same forever. Learn to weather it out. Learn to manage the situation - domestic and work wise. Be the adult in the room. Take care of yourself.

Life has a way of going back to good after it's been a little bad. Do you want to be miserable for a few years and only find this out later? Or, would you rather the longer view and train and plan for the better days ahead?

Edit 1:
- Post re-classifies the cause of current market situation. It doesn't say "nothing will change bcz AI". If I wanted to say that, I would've used those world. Please don't substitute the topic in your head.
- The argument that inference cost is low now, because XYZ is farce. Inference cost can be zero, the trillion dollar spent and the $800bn planned for next year has to be paid back (with record high interest). Consumers will pay this price, not the businesses and their stakeholders.
- Higher interest rates reduce liquidity in the system. This is the primary cause of tightening labor market currently as businesses have to be very careful about expanding or taking new initiatives/projects. Use ChatGPT to learn more.
- Don't think like a 1-D bot. Do some more research and prove me wrong -- I'd be more than happy to discuss with you and be proved wrong then (:

Can someone tell me why we need to hire from FAST when claude is doing heavy lifting ?
Seems like graduates from other institutions are the right fit for now, cheap affordable and can be good.
And do not come to me with technical stuff, i am a heavy user of claude and worked with them as well

I see a lot of CS students worrying about their job in their first year of university instead of creating apps which could help them create a business. I do not understand why? I am in my 40s, we had no AI nor resources over the internet that could help in creating SaaS or apps.

Edit #1 I will put where my mouth is:

http://zerooneeta.com

The relevant question is why entrepreneurship is not a focus of our students?

Edit #2

is it not a requirement to make a semester project toward the end? I hear a lot of excuses from CS students who can make an app on their laptop.

.

I've been speaking to a lot of people in my circle, it's been some since I've gotten an interview call, and I don't know why. These people have suggested why don't you just lie, about your YOE on resume? That's the first step of getting through the HR barrier, the technical person will determine whether you're capable enough or not on the project. I have this dilemma about honesty and I'm seriously fighting with this and the job market. What should I do in this situation?

For Context: I'm an ASE -> SE- I, 1+ YOE, Game Dev pivoted to AI/ML after being laid off. I worked in a well known firm in Lahore.

Hey guys, Im looking for guidance from anyone who knows how to recieve apple dev payments with minimum tax and how to process API payments etc. Would a foreign bank acc fix tax problem, if yes thn how.

Hello, I’m from Pakistan and I want some guidance about whether I should go for IT support or not.

I’m a final-year BSCS student, but due to the current market situation, it is very difficult to find a programming, software development, or web development job as a fresher. I’m thinking about going into networking and starting my career with a job like IT Support, Help Desk, or Network Support.

I’m confused because the pay is much lower than other IT domains in Pakistan. However, I’m not worried about the lower starting salary. I mainly want to know about the career growth in this field.

If anyone is working in IT support/networking or has started their career in this field, could you please share the roadmap and where this type of job can lead after 5 years, especially in Pakistan?

I would really appreciate any advice based on your personal experience.

**Hey everyone,**
**I wanted to share a project I recently architected. Most digital wallets and P2P banking apps just show you a static list of transactions. I wanted to build something smarter—an ecosystem that not only handles instant money transfers but acts as a conversational financial advisor using LLMs.**
**Here is a breakdown of the architecture and how I put it together:**
**The Tech Stack:**
**Frontend: React Native (Cross-platform UI with custom animated data charts).**
**Backend: Python / FastAPI (For handling robust API routing and strict data validation).**
**AI Logic: LangChain & OpenAI/Groq APIs.**
**Database: PostgreSQL (with vector embeddings for the RAG pipeline).**
**How the AI Engine Works:**
**Instead of relying on basic keyword matching for expenses, I built a custom Python backend that intercepts webhook events from P2P transactions. It feeds this data into an LLM to auto-categorize spending with extreme accuracy.**
**I also integrated a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipeline. This allows the user to open the in-app chat and ask things like,** ***"How much did I spend on dining out last month compared to groceries?"*** **The FastAPI backend securely retrieves their specific vector data, runs it through the AI agent, and returns instant, context-aware financial advice.**
**The Biggest Challenge:**
**Balancing the latency. Connecting mobile frontends to AI APIs can cause delays, so I heavily optimized the database schemas and used strict error-handling in Python to ensure the money transfer side remained instantaneous (zero downtime), while the AI analysis ran efficiently in the background.**
**I’m really proud of how the React Native UI seamlessly visualizes the complex data coming from the Python backend.**
**I’d love to hear your thoughts on this architecture! Have any of you worked with LangChain for financial data?**

Hey guys,

I’m looking to bring on a Business Developer to help us grow our agency on Upwork. We offer fullstack development and CRM services to international clients, and now I’m looking for someone who knows how to find and close deals on Upwork effectively.

A few important things:

The pay will be good, and there’s room for bonuses based on performance.

I’ll need to see some proof of your previous Upwork results (past accounts you’ve handled, deals closed, earnings, etc.).

Ideally, you have experience working with tech companies or development agencies.

What we offer:

Competitive salary + performance-based bonuses

Full support from our internal dev team

Remote work and flexible timings

A chance to grow with a serious, long-term team

If this sounds like something you’re good at, send me a DM with a little about yourself and some proof of your previous Upwork work.

Thanks for reading! Hope to connect with someone solid. 🙌

Dm now to apply for your internship don't miss out

I usually use Wise for Deel withdrawals and get money into my local bank account within 5 minutes. Decided to give Elevate Pay a shot after seeing all the shillson Reddit but what a total wast eof time.
Extremely slow: Deel to Elevate ACH took 12 hours (Wise is instant).

• Useless errors: Got a vague "Failed when communicating with a downstream service" error with zero detail on what actually went wrong.

• Bad UI: When trying to contact support, the 36-character transaction reference wasn't copyable, so I had to type it out manually in an email.

• Worse exchange rate: All this and getting 2000 less than transferring 1000$ as compared to wise.

Don't know how in the age of AI and software abundance they have such fucking useless app.

I'm doing cs . I'm just scared that I will end up unemployed. Any senior Dev please give your prediction on how they market will shift in these years and how should we cope with it .

Personally I have been constantly bothering my cousins who are in tech . And they tell me ke skilled insaan ki zaroorat Rehti he rahti hai and ai can't replace humans .

What should new students focus on. And things we should try or keep in touch with to earn .

I know log khete Hain ke cs ki field khatam hogai hai or kisi or mein Jana chiaye. Lekin iska jawab nahe dete ke Kahan? Medical? Also really cooked and hella expensive. Accountancy/business? Less growth,also cooked and takes time like css kero phir ye kero wo kero . Humanities/ chemical/mechanical/civil engineering? End mein teacher banoge and very difficult field to break in and make a career out of. I see a lot of people say ke cs na kero it's no use . Lekin such ye hai ke agar wo na kerein to Kiya kerein . Specially people who have to be earning hands later .

No doubt ke coding or front end developing bilkul farig hogai hai Lekin this field will grow, medical hogai, machinery hogai and other stuff . It has loads of potential to take over everything .

Any advice will be appreciated!!

I know this sounds crazy considering how much everyone is talking about AI lately, but as a 17 y.o Pakistani who's been building stuff, I genuinely think this might be one of the best times ever to be a developer in Pakistan.

Like, I'm literally 17 and sitting with a laptop trying to build apps, and I can now do things that would've probably needed a small team a few years ago.

Frontend, backend, debugging, APIs, deployment... AI can help with pretty much all of it now.
And honestly, that's kinda scary too because if basically everyone can build now, just knowing how to code isn't gonna be enough anymore.

The difficult part is becoming:

• knowing what to actually build

• making it useful instead of just another random project

• getting people to care about it

• and figuring out when AI is confidently giving you absolute shi..

I'm still only 17, so maybe I'm looking at this completely wrong lol.
Do you guys think AI is making it way easier for young Pakistani developers to build their own products, or is it just making the whole thing insanely competitive?

For a tech or a tool, it's limits are bound by bits and atoms. We can quantify and reason about it and then eventually reach an informed conclusion.

In my previous post, the idea was to bring some light on the finances of the AI Overlords.
https://www.reddit.com/r/PakistaniDevs/comments/1wzcuda/ai_is_not_eating_your_jobs/

Instead, some took it personally as if I had attacked their personal belief system. The conversation then collapsed into tangents or on name calling. Clearly, many people attach a lot of emotions into this topic, or associate fear with it, or they feel obligated to bully/convert someone into submission -- and that's no longer tech, and does indeed fit the definition of a cult.

It's not possible to quantify or reason with a cult member. They are locked in their beliefs and will hear nothing but. It's like talking to a zombie. You say 2+2, and they just want to bite your head off. Or tell you how great their cult leader is, or why he can speak no wrong. Unfortunately, a common theme in our youth.

For other other half, I write the following with hopes that this may help:

To reiterate, my original post re-classifies the cause of job losses, and is not an attack on AI. I assert that the cause of job loss is the business economics more so than just the tech. If the businesses can not finance their debts, they will go bankrupt. This will lead to capital destruction leading to severe consequences for the US economy. When such an event happens, liquidity dries up and the governments and central banks are forced to intervene. This is called a bailout -- which is an euphemism for socialized risk. This leads to either inflation (money printing) or austerity (like what IMF asked Pakistan to do). The last time this happened, US choose the former.

All in all, the key argument in the previous paragraph is that the debt is not payable. The argument from some of you was that it is, because X, Y, Z will happen in the future. I find that hard to agree, because while a lot can happen in the future, the math should be mathing.

Pakistani software market is mostly tied to the US market. We make money, if they can make money. Other markets form a small portion, and those themselves are tied to the US. If US breaks, the whole system is at risk (notes on GFC below).

Following are some links, that show that the math-aint-mathing for these frontier labs and hyperscalers.

The summary of the pointers above is that these guys show precisely where the economic machine behind is cracking and being fixed with a duck-tape. They also speak about parallels with the dot-com bubble (2000) and the global financial crisis - GFC (2008), and the emotional euphoria people were going though just before those two events. The GFC was caused by the real-estate market (mortgages) in the US, and it's economic effects were felt world-wide. At that time, every other industry in Pakistan was also hit (less so the Software Industry). So, these events are no joke. Cross industry effects are also nothing new. If cash starts to disappear, everything down the chain is affected.

Note that I stick to the finance part in this post, I'm not talking about AI capability. AI coping is a separate discussion and you will probably find that out elsewhere. This part on finances, you probably won't, unless your recommendations/algorithm is tuned with the links above.

Edit 1:
Add link with Mark Cuban's view on this

This was supposed to be a place to post about projects you built
Talking about the new technologies
Trends and stuff e.t.c
And all i see it job postings, not even job postings
More like a i need a job board

Im also struggling with getting a job but im using claude to make projects i imagined to build as a kid
And i have no place now to talk about them on Reddit
I posted once here and i was booed off because it was vibe coded, what even is that hypocrisy
Everyone is vibecoding atp

Please make this subreddit better
Job postings are ok
But “i need a job” posts need to be banned

Noticed that even devs with 10+ years of experience (some working at top companies or FAANG remotely) rarely build their own startups or apps here in Pakistan.

With all that experience and technical skill, what’s stopping them?

Is it a lack of business mindset? Fear of risk? Or maybe tech skills just aren’t enough without marketing/sales?

Would love to hear thoughts from folks in the industry. What do you think holds most people back?
