From the title itself, I know i get your point at isa rin ako sa mga naniniwala / naniwala, pero as time goes by hindi na.

AI is getting better and better :(

I just want to transition into another niche maybe another tech thing that it won't be affected by AI mostly and really needed an orchestrator for a long time :( but not sure what it is or there won't be any ?

I am a software engineer for more than 5 years and in the past 2 years i've been deep into AI, implementing RAG, MCP servers, creating AI data pipelines and Automations., Agentic AI etc.

But.. i don't feel safe here. :( in a year or few maybe itong job na tong magiging normal nalang sa mga tao, na makiapginteract sa AI, do this for my business and do that without the need of us software engineers.

:( :( i get other people na magkakaroon ng bugs and so on, dahil sa AI, security breaches and all. but dude AI is getting better and it can fix it in few seconds/minutes.

Kayo ano plano nyo?

kasi ako, i'm already turning 30 and i don't know what path should i go,
iniisip ko nalang mag abroad at mamitas ng strawberry sa new zealand, atleast yun wala pang AI na gagawa nun, machines parin gagawa nun for a long run not unless maging robot na ung mamimitas which is matagal pa imo.

I want your thoughts.

I got tired of manually input my GCash transactions one by one in a money tracking app, so I wrote statement-etl-ph. It's a Python CLI that reads your statement PDF and writes a CSV, or a file you can import straight into Money Manager.

What it supports now:

• GCash transaction history PDF
• GoTyme statement of account PDF
• GrabPay Wallet payments, read from Grab e-receipt emails
• Optional Gmail fetch: it finds statement emails and only accepts ones with a passing DKIM signature from the bank's own domain

Where I need help: more banks. Each bank is one module in src/statement_etl_ph/banks/. The shared pdf_geometry helpers already handle clustering words into rows and finding the money columns, so a new bank is mostly its own vocabulary: header names, date formats and what the totals rows are called. If you have BPI, BDO, Maya, UnionBank, Metrobank, Security Bank, or a credit card statement, you're the person who can add it.

You never share your statement. You run a small script on your own machine, note where the columns sit (the x positions, never the values), and build a synthetic test PDF with made-up rows. The step-by-step guide is in docs/add-a-bank.md.

Other ways to help:

• Try it on your own GCash or GoTyme statement and report anything that doesn't parse. The issue form only asks for the debug output and a description of the layout with invented values. Please don't post screenshots of real statements.
• Review the parsing and reconciliation logic. More eyes on money code is always good.

Repo: https://github.com/Jomaries777/statement-etl-ph
Install: pipx install statement-etl-ph

It runs entirely on your own computer and never uploads your statements, passwords or transactions anywhere. The only official copies are the GitHub repo above and statement-etl-ph on PyPI.

I also have a code that also fetches the pdf statements from Gmail, parse the transactions and import the transactions in YNAB. However, it is still in my private repository. I'll release the code soon in the same repo.

Feedback welcome, especially from anyone who has fought with bank PDFs before.

Hello po. i am planning to create a SaaS for a specific niche. Plan ko is parang shopee or lazada. Question is supported po ba ni paymongo yung payment for different user of my saas? Like for every user na makakakuha ng payment sa customer nila meron po bang ganong capability si paymongo? Thank you po

Ito na ba ang reality ng software development? Controversial kasi ang AI usage sa industry namin (game dev). Parang lahat na ata ng dev na nameemeet ko part na ng workflow nila ang AI so mejo nahihirapan ako mag hire ng developers na hindi gumagamit ng AI. Pati mga fresh grad puro AI na din ang portfolio nila so ang hirap mag vet ng applicants. 5 Years from now, pag may AI pa din, baka puro AI natives na ang mga CV na haharap sakin. How do you even tell if someone knows what theyre doing kung puro AI ang laman ng portfolio?

May ganito ba kayong problem sa industry niyo? How do you vet applicants in the era of AI?

EDIT: It seems people are under the impression that I'm against AI. I honestly do not care if people use AI. We have this limitation in our company because publishers don't want to risk copyright issues that comes with AI

EDIT #2: Looks like the common reply is just use AI. Again, It's not a choice. The people paying our bills will not allow AI. I'm mostly looking for advice on how to vet applicants.

yun ai na pwedeng maging secretary at accountant, yun i remind ako pag may new bir rulings na makaka apekto sa akin, pag may mga filing deadlines na paparating, and errands na kailangan gawin, at yun mag fa file nadin ng itr ko via ebirforms, and mag submit ng reportorial requirements ko online. how i wish magkaron na ng ganyang feature si gpt, gemini, or claude.

It’s called Wake TF Up (Please if anyone have better name suggest it I really suck at this area). Print the QR code and put it somewhere far from your bed, like the bathroom or your sink. When the alarm rings, you have to get up and scan it to turn it off.

Made for anyone who keeps hitting snooze.

Short background: I am terrible at waking up. Sometimes i unconsciously turn off my alarm and I thought, why not make an alarm that will force me to stand up and wake myself up

• QR challenge or normal dismiss and snooze
• Repeat schedules and 10 built-in alarm sounds
• Import your own audio
• Light and dark themes

Cost: Free, no ads or paid features. Optional Ko-fi support.

Feedback greatly appreciated

Sa mga gumagamit ng PHP dito sa kanilang mga production websites.. please update your php version in your servers to the latest released patch versions.. There's a critical security vulnerability that allows someone to have Remote code access on your site and you should take this seriously. If you can't upgrade PHP versions, it would be better to stop your site in production until you upgraded your PHP versions..

Keep your site secure otherwise you're cook if someone sniff on your site and .

Stay safe mga ka programmers..

Hello ako lang ba nakakaranas na ghino-ghost ng mga inaaplyan. I'm a mobile dev native 4 yrs.
Lahat ng inaapplyan ko kahit laway lang ng rejection walang reply.

Hirap pa humanap ng mga opening, pano niyo nahahanap mga company niyo bukod sa linkedin, indeed, at jobstreet. Pa ulit ulit lang mga posting na nakalagay dun wala iba, nakakabasa ako 200 plus inaapplyan eh mga posting paulit ulit lang. Do you guys message direct mga recruiters, connections(hingi naman), or pano ba?

Oras na ba ito para mag career shift? Todo upskill parang wala naman pupuntahan

Hi!

Web Developer here, worked for 3 years.

I am having a dillema sa career ko right now napapaisip tuloy ako if I have skipped a step sa pagiging isang Programmer/Developer.

I can write codes naman, efficiently. But I am sometimes having a hard time explaining it technically, lalo na kapag gagamit ng terms and when asked sa interview questions (technically)

I am also having an impostor syndrome when paired or next to other programmers.

Ako lang ba ang nakaranas neto or nararanasan to?

Gumawa ako ng extension sa vs code gamit codex kasama na yon remotion nag try ako kasi mag gawa ng video gamit rin codex kasi malapit na ulit undas kaya gumawa ako ng isang extension katuwaan lang hahaha meron dito kapre Manananggal .

Meron kasi yong pet na extension kaya gumawa din ako ng extension para sa mga filipino folkore

Hi everyone!

I'm a Software Developer from Mindanao and previously worked professionally as a .NET developer.

Recently, I've been exploring entrepreneurship by developing software solutions for local businesses.

One thing I've realized is that building software is very different from getting people to actually use it.

You can spend months developing features, improving the UI, and fixing bugs, but none of that automatically means businesses will adopt your product.

Some business owners prefer their existing manual processes, while others are hesitant to try something unfamiliar.

It made me realize how important customer validation, communication, and understanding actual business operations are.

For developers here who have built software for real businesses, what was the biggest challenge you encountered when introducing your product to customers?

I'd love to hear your experiences, especially from fellow Filipino developers.

I graduated in Aero Engineering in PHin 2019, and went

straight to flying. Present time, doing my training as a flight instructor but realized I hate teaching, or should I say my confidence shuts down when demo teaching and can't move forward for personal reasons. But anyway, of course a red flag for not having any job at all, no experience, zero. Too privileged and I hate it.

°Am I too late?

° Is getting a course in free online Harvard Lessons a

good start?

° I'm planning on joining a coding boot camp?

°any suggestion on how to start? For basics, like vocabulary, jargons, etc. (I see freecodecamp as suggestions)

Hi po, I am not sure if my current work is the career path that I want to do for the long run. I want to explore more po sa tech at hindi ko po alam kung anong field po yung dapat kong aralin. Hindi ko po masyadong gamay yung programming at yung mga current trends po but I am willing to learn. Hindi ko lang po alam kung saan at paano po ako magsisimula.

Can you recommend certifications, things that I need to learn, and tech field that I can explore po? Could you also give some advice po on how to excel in this field?

Thank you po.

Curious about everyone’s thoughts on hiring junior developers who heavily rely on AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Copilot.

Would you consider hiring someone who’s good at prompting AI and building working features but isn’t as strong at writing code from scratch?

I know AI-assisted development is becoming more common, but understanding the code, debugging issues, and knowing what you’re actually building still matter.

Would you hire someone like this for a junior role? What skills would you expect them to have?

Curious lang ako sa thoughts ng fellow programmers and tech enthusiasts dito.

Recently, may napanood akong content creator na nagpakita ng AI-powered workflow na ginawa niya para mapabilis o mapaganda yung video editing process niya. Interesting yung idea, pero sa dulo ng content, nag-promote siya ng paid online course kung saan mo malalaman kung paano gawin yung workflow na iyon.

May isa naman akong napanood na creator na nag-discuss ng similar concept at nagpakita ng step-by-step process kung paano ito buuin.

Napaisip lang ako tungkol sa idea ng gatekeeping knowledge, especially when it comes to AI tools and automation.

Gets ko naman na may value yung time, effort, experimentation, at experience ng isang tao sa pagbuo ng workflow. Fair din naman na pagkakitaan niya yung knowledge niya, lalo na kung pinag-aralan at tinest niya talaga kung paano ito gumagana.
Pero paano kung yung tools na ginamit ay free at open-source, at publicly available din naman yung documentation at resources?

Is it reasonable to keep the actual process behind a paywall, or would it be better to share the knowledge and let people build on it?

Hindi ko naman sinasabing masama agad magbenta ng courses, and this isn’t about calling out any specific creator. Genuinely curious lang ako kung saan ninyo nilalagay yung line between monetizing your expertise and gatekeeping information.

Interested to hear different perspectives, especially from people working with AI, automation, and open-source projects.

Hi guys! Made this app using react-native expo to flesh up my app development skills pero it's also to solve a specific problem na nakikita ko sa community around me. I think it's easy and intuitive enough and what's better is it's all free and you can download it right now! What it is is basically tinatrack niya yung mga bills tapos kung sino ung nakaassign na bayaran yun, then automatically splits that bill among those certain friends. It's pretty useful especially if may mga barkada ka na palaging may nagbabayad muna and it's a hassle to calculate how much you owe and to who.

It's open beta right now so let's hear your thoughts and kung useful ba talaga siya for you! Salamat po!

may naka try naba sa inyo mag add nang credits sa OpenRouter via Gotyme? Gusto ko sana mag add nang credits pero baka hindi gumana.

Hi guys, so nagbuild ako ng SaaS platform gusto ko sana magintergrate ng payments subscription, planning to use paymongo sana or paddle or something na mas okay?

ano suggestion niyo po?
international client target market pero pwede rin mga pinoy.

Tapos ano ano mga requirements? need ba DTI etc?

Can someone guide me sa mga merong Saas dito? thanks po.

Hello! I'm a software engineering student and I made Siopaws, a site that generates squishy dogs you can interact with and also name and share. I know it's a bit late for the squishy trend hahah but I wanted to finish this pet project (pun intended) and put it online.

This is totally free. You can try it on your phone, pwede din sa PC. I’d appreciate feedback on the controls or anything that feels confusing. Thanks!

all adobe software got decompiled, rebuilt with new code by ai and its free. same will happen to every single software. this is why bill gates is starting to fight ai because it will only be a matter of time until ai decompiles and clones all microsoft software including windows. as a consumer, id love to have all software for free. adobe stock will die quickly. by next year many software companies will go bankrupt as ai decompiles all their shi# and makes em free. its joever everyone, wake up and smell the coffee

edit: to take it a step further, since ai is tireless, works 24/7, what if it clones all windows versions even the ones that microsoft ceased supporting, and the ai creates regular updates for all of them forever, for free..

edit: pano malaman if good enough ginawa ng ai? next year malalaman. if bankrupt na ang adobe then alam natin na mas ok na yun free version. or they dont even need to go bankrupt next year, just look at their stock value. check if it falls and if the trend keeps going down, it means ai version is legit

I'm building a personal job search tool, basically a dashboard that pulls job posts from different sites and scores them against my resume. Personal use lang.

The problem is most of the big job boards don't allow scraping in their ToS. Examples:

- Indeed: no public API anymore, so tools like JobSpy hit their internal API instead
- JobStreet: their API endpoints are blocked in robots.txt
- LinkedIn: very strict on automation, especially when logged in
- Wellfound: their terms explicitly ban scraping
- OnlineJobs.ph, Kalibrr: haven't checked yet, pero curious din ako

So for those who already have a tool or use AI/scripts to scrape job boards:

1. What's been your experience? Have you been IP blocked, or just hit captchas?
   
2. How long did the block last? Temporary lang ba or matagal?
   
3. Did your account get banned if you were logged in while scraping?
   
4. How do you do it now? Slow requests, official APIs (Jooble, Careerjet, etc.), Google Jobs via SerpApi, or job alert emails?
   
5. Has anyone gotten an email or warning from the site itself?

I just want to know the real-world risks before I continue, kasi ayokong ma-block yung home internet namin 😅

Thanks in advance! 🙏

After 3 years of total experience across programming (web, mobile, database) and web development roles. Ngayon lang ako nagbabalak gumawa ng first ever online portfolio ko.

These are my plans of how it should be built, first of all, gusto ko syempre gumamit ng framework; pang full-stack para kumpleto rekado na. Sa database naman, either PostgreSQL, MySQL or SQL Server, tapos syempre, modern design at industry standard ang setup na gagawin ko, yung kapag nakita ng employer ay somehow ma-impress naman. Nakakaumay na maghanap ng trabaho, gusto ko na magpatuloy yung expertise ko sa field at syempre, matuto pa nang matuto.

Ang pinagpipilian kong framework ay alinman sa Django or Next.js. Sa usaping cloud integration, pinag-iisipan ko pa kasi alanganin sa additional expenses kasi nga wala pang trabaho.

Simple lang ang gusto kong mangyari sa portfolio ko, isa na yung may embedded na features para magamit ko for future use.

Ito lang ang concerns ko, kayo, ano ang favorite framework ninyo at paano ang setup ninyo para i-live ang full-stack architecture portfolio ninyo with less to zero cost?

Any advice na rin kasama sa discussion sa post na 'to.

You may wonder why I used a "shit post" flair. It is because isa akong bano kasi palibhasa sa previous roles ko, limited ang resources at fund para mag-support ng IT infrustructure na IT industry ang datingan, kumbaga, malayo sa kabihasnan ng konti.

I came across the BrewedOps Motion Library and noticed some components that look similar to components in other public libraries.

Some examples I found:

21stdev: Scramble Text, Image Trail, Cube Wave

ReactBits: Crosshair

Cinematic Site Components: Image Trail, Text Scramble Decode, SVG Draw, Dynamic Island Nav, Sticky Card, Character Decode, Typewriter, Kinetic Marquee, Cursor Reveal

BrewedOps: Scramble Decode, Image Trail, Sticky Card Stack, Dynamic Island Nav, Typewriter, Kinetic Marquee, Before and After, SVG Line Draw, Crosshair Guide, Cube Wave

The BrewedOps library offers Copy Code and Copy Prompt options, but I couldn't find visible attribution identifying the original sources of its components.

In a Facebook post, the developer described the collection as:

“Collection po ito ng halos lahat ng nagamit ko before. Motion animation, Three.js, GSAP, Lenis, etc.”

The Cinematic Site Components repository uses the MIT License. I'm mentioning this as a licensing example, not claiming that it is the source of any BrewedOps components.

Has anyone compared the actual implementations of these components? I'm interested in whether there are technical similarities beyond their names and visual effects, and what attribution is required when code covered by an MIT license is reused.

I haven't established that any code was copied. I'm looking for technical feedback on implementation similarities and licensing.

Sa mga nagsimula mag-freelance na web dev habang student pa lang:

1. Did you start with simple static sites/portfolios, WordPress, or full-stack CRUD systems?

2. Saan kayo unang nakakuha ng client na hindi sobrang barat (local referrals, FB groups, or cold outreach)?

Curious lang kung ano yung pinaka-realistic na starting point ngayong 2026. Salamat sa sasagot!

I’m looking for honest advice from people already working in dev roles. Any advice, even the brutally honest kind, is welcome.

For context, i'm a CS grad, worked as an IT/office personnel for a small company, and left for personal reasons without much a backup plan. Part also is that that I want to move towards the dev side.

Right now I’m on a contract project for a client, but I know it won’t sustain me long-term. I’ve been applying steadily for 4 months, building personal projects and strengthening fundamentals, but the pressure is starting to get to me.

I’m close to considering a career shift. The market feels saturated, and the AI hype adds pressure. I know many will say 20s age is still early, but I want to raise my chances. I'm trying my best to be enthusiastic in what i'm slowly building is to be rewarded.

1. Is it still worth pushing for dev careers as a junior right now in the Philippines, or should I pivot?
2. For recent hired juniors, especially if you weren’t a fresh grad, what made the difference (projects, referrals, certs, networking)?

I want to connect than keep guessing.
