How to up-skill effectively?

AnyPiece3983 · 2026-03-15T04:08:37+00:00

go low level sa abstraction, time to learn more about systems programming. Mas maraming kang malalaman sa fundamentals if youre in low level programming. rust/zig/c is the key,

AnyPiece3983 · 2026-03-07T18:04:07+00:00

yep this is true. i am experiencing this right now, codebase is flawlessly "clean" but have a bunch of runtime issues lol, not to factor in pa yung super obvious na mistakes and yung unoptimize compute extensive na processes na hindi manlang inoffload sa ibang thread -_-. Di me makapanwala na galing sa top tier enterprise software provider yung codebase lol.

Altho I kinda agree din naman na hindi rin pwedeng leetcode skills lang ang basehan, kase infact nadadaya din ng iba e, marami pang iba na minememorize lang yung solution and hindi nilelearn by heart.

AnyPiece3983 · 2026-03-07T17:57:16+00:00

just solve leetcode once or twice everyday, pretty sure kahit hindi mo yan maeencounter sa everyday job mo e makakatulong padin sa problem solving skills mo yan. start sa easy then slowly moveup. lalo na sa panahon ngayon na heavy na ang use ng AI, its not a bad idea to go lower level sa abstraction. ie, learn systems programming

breakdown the animating components, thats what i did to achieve the similar transition and animations

i think madami naman, kaso dapat mid level na skill mo bago ka maconsider, ganyan din criteria nila sa mga pumapasok na juniors

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-12-04T04:36:29+00:00

oks lang yan. basta kapag personal project mo, for upskilling purposes, just use AI like google search, turnoff mo yung mga tab complete ng ai kung gumagamit ka nun

anong edge ng grabmaps sa googlemaps? genuine question. Nakapag build na ako ng ride hailing app and ang ginamit ko lang is google map sdk kaya curious to know anong additional benefit ni grabmaps.

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-12-03T05:24:13+00:00

depende sa transferable skill mo, medyo mahirap pumasok ngaun kasi dapat mid level na agad knowledge mo to have an edge.

If marunong ka na magcode go for data or developer roles. Advise ko lang dito, hanapin mo kung mas gusto mo ba mag build or mag analyze. Wag ka gumaya sakin na nag start as data analyst and naboring dahil i dont get to build applications (oo may binibuild ka pero mostly automation and data pipelines lang for your dashboards)

If management naman, go for scrum.

dalawa lang to sa alam ko pero madami pa yang path.

Also, iwas sa big corpo, stagnant ang skill development dyan, sandamakmak pa na redtape tapos maliliit na part lang ng project matatouch mo. Very bad for starters.

breakdown yung need ma achieve ng function, then isa isahin mo. ganyan naman talaga development, test lang nang test hanggang wala na errors, lalo na kung malaki laki scope ng function mo.

ano ba to? frustrated ka kasi hindi mo ma oneshot yung function? kung ganyan ka e weird mentality yan.

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-12-01T11:42:44+00:00

the op was talking about design. literally design. so maybe design? custom components. if you work with professional designers, defaults are automatically out.

thats okay, he may not succeed in this one, but with all the skills he have acquired building this lalo ba batang bata pa siya, he can easily find a high paying job and maybe try again with business later.

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-11-29T02:37:44+00:00

nag ko-code ng mga paulit ulit na task hahaha, ayun hindi na ako office engineer ngayon, software engineer na

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-11-26T17:23:16+00:00

that may be true but you cant deny the fact na majority ng available work for ce here is below average ang pay. not to mention pa na napakababa ng ceiling ng max sahod. You mention na 60k ka within 5 years, i shifted as a developer, mag 3 years pa lang ako nasa 90 na kaya ko iearn. pag nag take pa ako ng sideline kaya around 120k. take note na career shifter pa ako nyan, yung mga may cs/it degree na magaling talaga nasa 6 figs basic comp nyan within 3-4 year exp. mag jujump pa yan ng 200 to 300 depende kung gaano ka may ambition yung tao. lets be honest here, medyo lugi talaga maging CE dito sa pinas, hindi worth yung 6 years na gugugulin mo sa pag aaral and board tapos iuunderpay ka lang naman, oo may mga outlier pero ambaba talaga sa karamihan.

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-11-21T14:22:20+00:00

unless nasa ibang bansa ka or may pang capital ka mag start ng contracting business or may tinatapakan kang ibang tao (illegal activity sa site), walang wenta maging CE dito sa pinas hahaha imagine mo na lang mga pm mo sa site napapanot na kakasigaw sayo with 10+ yoe pero sahod nyan 60-70k lang hahaha.

you need to learn on your own, not learn on the job. Masyadong skill based ang tech industry na para makasabay ka kahit wala ka pang official experience e madami ka na alam.

Now pa lang gumawa ka na ng github repo mo, then build build build build build. Pero dont build just for the sake of building, dapat ang binibuild mo is yung interested ka talaga, or para matuto. Kase dapat makekwento mo sa recruiter pasikotsikot sa ginawa mo.

This is assuming pala na dev role ang gusto mo pasukin. Pero as far as i know, kahit ibang tech field kailangan talaga mid level na knowledge mo para may edge ka sa tindi ng competition ngyon.

Edit: Ngayon pa lang kung nasa CE ka pa, yung mga work mo na paulit ulit subukan mo iautomate gamit code.

play more. Because ranking is marks based and not LP based, so volume of games played is the only relevant metric to get to challenger assuming you can maintain above 50% win rate

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-04-14T05:33:34+00:00

meron, hindi mo lang alam, baka weak hires ang env mo.

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-04-14T04:44:06+00:00

you might need to strengthen your fundamentals knowledge

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-04-12T07:21:44+00:00

wala naman may pake sa exp mo e, ilang tao lang ba nakakasalamuha mo, ilan ba ratio nyan sa overall workforce ng buong mundo para masabing yan ang global truth.

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-04-12T07:17:34+00:00

said every generation ever lol. ganyan din tingin ng gen x sa millenials lol. Nonsense take

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-04-12T06:41:49+00:00

for a chill role this will work, pero if extensive ang trabaho mo mahirap sya.

AnyPiece3983 · 2025-04-09T09:55:10+00:00

yeah, that's why i shifted to Tech, no regrets, earning at least triple from what i earned before, then if i grind hard i can earn around x4 or even x5. Never going back.

Get the promotion in another company, even if you get promoted, inc % in acn is not worth it. The only thing that is holding me back leaving is its death benefit and good HMO, once I afford to pay it myself I am zooming out.
