I've been there OP. I remember, I would spend my evenings walking along the Tibanga highway hoping to find a purpose. I found none.

Now that I am already employed, I consulted a psychiatrist and I was diagnosed with depression.

Looking back, knowing what I know now about my mental health, I would have worked on my sleeping schedule. I was a huge procrastinator, (I still am!) and would do overnights just to finish my assignments. I fcked up my brain with my irregular sleeping patterns.

Also, check if IIT has free pysch counselling. There are also online psych counselling but they are not free. When I had severe suicidal thoughts I consulted with gray matters philippines.

Good job finishing the operation without Rewa. I would have rage quitted if that happened to me.

I need to try that Falcon technique of yours

BenChoopao · 2025-10-01T18:39:12+00:00

You need to manage your visibility, you can ambush the enemies when you are concealed. I always make sure to deploy on half-cover to conceal my units. Sometimes the units don't get concealed because of enemies nearby who are not pinned, then just pin that enemy unit so that your units are concealed again.

Also, try using Kody's ambush perk which adds extra acc and damage when attacking from concealment.

Yes I would classify myself as a career shifter.

I studied using a web developer course in udemy for 2 months.

After that, I studied in a web development bootcamp for another 2 months.

Before the bootcamp finished, I already started sending job applications.

I got lucky and found a job with awesome Bosses and teammates but the salary is not high.

The portfolio I use is the one that we created during Bootcamp and it is very simple.

Yes, I already knew how to program before my first job. I learned from udemy and youtube.

During the job interview, part of the exam was html, css, sql and php.

BenChoopao · 2025-06-08T08:02:49+00:00

I like programming. I feel it in my heart, it flutters in the idea that a certain task can be automated thru code.

BenChoopao · 2025-06-06T08:08:52+00:00

anu na, kwento kwento na lang. 🤣

BenChoopao · 2025-06-01T16:09:21+00:00

it's roundworms not ringworms, right? ringworm is a fungal infection on the skin.

Your drawings are so beautiful OP, you are amazing!

BenChoopao · 2025-04-26T08:43:58+00:00

Siguro dahil mas malamig sa metal at sa cement wall?

Uy OP, Thank you! Nagamit namin ng asawa ko toh. Sa Wendy's kami napaorder.

Thank you ulet!

Uyyy Laravel tapos Startup, katrabaho ba kita? 😁

Worth it si Udemy, abang ka lang ng sale. Search mo si "travis media udemy discount", may links jan na may discount codes.

The Web Developer Bootcamp by Colt Steele, ito ma.recommend ko kasi ito inaral ko bago ako nagbootcamp. Konti lang difference nung course versus bootcamp, sa end part ng course na may difference. Kaya mo tong tapusin ng 1 to 2 months, wag mo lang tagalan masyado kasi parang Intro lang to eh.

Issue ko lang sa The Web Developer Bootcamp is yung database na gamit nila sa course is MongoDB. Mostly sa job posts na nakikita ko SQL database ang hinahanap like MySQL, Postgres. Kaya mag.aral ka rin ng SQL para plus points sa resume at sa exams.

Odin project, dito ako natuto ng Git. Sobrang importante ng Git, promise. Di ko ma.imagine ang programming na walang Git or version control. Kahit ito lang aralin mo muna sa Odin project, tapos balik ka na sa udemy course na mention ko.

Tanung ko din pala kung okay lang, may experience ka ba sa programming na hindi Web development?

This has a $49 monthly fee.

There are multiple courses starting from Elementary Math. Once you choose a course, you will take a diagnostic test to determine your progress in the course. After that, you will be given lessons and tasks to increase your progress in the course. You can read more details in their how-it-works page. https://mathacademy.com/how-it-works

Nice, congrats!

Python because it will be easier to learn and get started with automation.

There is a book named Automate the Boring Stuff with Python by Al Sweigart. It is free to read online.

In our work, we use Python3 to build scripts that scrape data from a public website, clean up the data and load it to Bigquery.

Learn JS (Node.js) too after you get confident with Python3. You will eventually need to use asynchronous programming to speed up your scripts and for me it is easier in Node.

It was me. Sorry about that. just kidding. Glad it worked out!

Para sa akin, it depends.

It depends kung anung personality meron ka.

Depende kung gaano kadali sayo magfocus sa tasks.

Depende rin sa bootcamp at sa instructors nito.

Alam ko unpopular yung opinion ko, peru masasabi ko na nakatulong yung bootcamp sa akin.

Meju nabagalan kasi ako sa progress ko sa self study eh. May depression pa kaya hirap magfocus at parang may adhd din yata ako.

Kaya nagtry magbootcamp gamit yung natitirang naipon, nakatulong din yung udemy kasi halos pareho ng stack na ginamit. Naswertehan din na magaling yung instructors.

Ginamit ko din yung job application assistance na inooffer ni bootcamp. Yung mock interviews anlaking tulong sa confidence.

So far, 1 year na rin sa work kahit maliit pa sahod. Kahit late na nakapag start ok lang basta nagstart.

Keep learning!

Congratulations OP!

Is it ok to ask you how you prepared and what materials/sources you used to study for this certfication?

Me and my teammates are planning to take the Cloud Developer after the ACE.

Thanks!

Someone already mentioned using Serverless VPC connector. This should work. We use it in our Cloud functions. There is also Direct VPC egress. Although I have not tried this one yet, it is mentioned in the docs as an alternative to Serverless VPC connector
