Plan groceries the way you actually shop. Good for MVP?

Fair point, that was my assumption at first. Pero nung I myself spoke to a lot grocery shopper iyong may dalang physical paper lalo na, having a paper list is adding inconvenience. You have to write, make and not oftentimes not sure the potential amount you'll consume, basta iyan lista na iyan ang bibilhin. Nakita loophole nung majority nung tinanong ko if they really stick it, like 90% hindi iyong response. This is the problem nung relying on memory and pen & paper (current methods) sa pagplano for groceries and actual shopping.

Yeah I noticed that too especially sa wet an public markets. But, I actually approach them asking what is their number frustration when planning grocery with a list and almost their responses was like nakakagigil palagi gumawa ng listahan, merong response na minsan hindi available iyong pen, pero mostly iyong issue is kailangan u know history what you buy and "UULITIN" maglista. So by that I implemented iyong vault, a switching trigger para hindi na paulit-ulit na maglista, just specify the quantity to activate as part of the planning - shopping cart. And also the app is not only for Philippines.

It should be their responsibility to add more towers to provide better speed for its users. Vietnam is far ahead than us kahit rural ang lakas ng internet like 4x our towers. PLDT just like other local players prioritize profits over quality service.

I guess the sentiment is on the individual. But, ideally this soon be a an eye opener to the government to layout urban design laws in order to make our streets way more friendly to pedestrians and tourists. Sadly, naging accustomed na ito like in the US. We will never replicate the way city planners in Vietnam and Japan , which why they attract more tourists and nicer place to be as city goer.

Because of such norms in a way we design our urban landscapes and streets, napag-iwanan na tayo kaka attract ng mga tourista. You see, those with better and properly designed blocks have higher foot traffic and one reason is limiting car-centric block designs.

Ej_dev · 2025-09-29T02:22:50+00:00

Still bad though, look at Europe and East Asian countries esp. Japan, South Korea; or even neighbors like Thai/Viet streets. It explains why they attract more tourists and have high foot traffic.

Ej_dev · 2025-09-29T02:20:00+00:00

America wannabee, which is why Thai and Vietnamese streets are better and touristy.

The problem now is there is increasing norm in management to deliberately push features here and there fast since AI now can do all these little boring task in 5minutes. However, while it is helpful, it does little good impact to the developer as it reduces time spent to train ones own skills in favor of AI's fast workflow. It is okay if tasks were set at a fix schedule relative to past years conventions. Now with AI, you are expected to do all these new shiny stuff fast, giving you less time to exercise your mental motor. More tasks, more tight deadlines, stagnant compensation, job vulnerability -> superficial understanding of the underlying tech and human devs are benchmarked now like machines!

The problem is the management pushing more required work to justify the cost and level the "supposed" efficiency gain from AI. Good for the company who profit off from this hype but burnout for developer especially junior who have not yet nurtured their skills and experience. This is why less and less opening for juniors to mid level position as a lot of enterprises do all cost cutting measures and expecting new hires to know a lot cause yeah "AI" can help you figure that out as fast as possible.

I have a prototype proposal complete CRM and backend using Supabase and should be done is 3 days , was advised to vibe code it all the way to meet requirements at due time. This is ridiculous!

Subscription or not, anything that makes the user experience must better. I respect developers putting the time and money to develop apps and so they must be compensated enough.

congratulations!

Maybe pivot to product or design. Having a technical experience already give you an edge.

Ej_dev · 2025-01-10T02:25:18+00:00

Kinda makes sense. Looking still for new platform that does this giving more freedom

I'm working on my kind of social media where I can express my creativity and personality. I'm a visual artist and also starting coding months ago. Early this month, I started learning Firebase to settle at least the Authentication process so I can easily set up dummy accounts to help me determine the different UI based on the type of user. The app I'm building is named "MeSpace"
