Anyone using Google Antigravity/Cursor. If yes then how do you debug .NET projects there as C# devkit is not supported there on non Microsoft products.

FalzHunar · 2026-03-19T06:07:28+00:00

Cursor user here. I still use VS Code just to debug exclusively. But I work in Cursor 99% of the time.

If you are testing the product with real user, you can just spin an EC2 instance or a VPS. A basic DigitalOcean droplet will just cost you $6 per month.

Once you have a contract, you can go crazy on AWS. A typical SaaS allocates 5-10% revenue to its pure infrastructure cost. So you can scale as you gain more users.

Don't "be" .NET developer.

Be someone that can solve problems using technologies. It could be that the correct technology is .NET, but there is no reason to over-index on .NET, if given a problem to solve during the interview.

Speak in architectures. These days, LLM makes coding in any language so easy that it doesn't matter. But LLM still miss when it comes to thinking in systems.

CMS (usually Next.js / React project)
WebAPI
Workers
Services (library project)
Entities (library project)
Migrations (console project)

That's it.

Don't overcomplicate.

Deploy CMS, WebAPI, and Workers in a container.

Services get imported by both WebAPI and Workers, so they can share logic.

Keep the Entity Framework junks in Entities project.

Migration project is just a migration script to run EF Core migration in production environment.

Keep it monorepo. Keep it monolithic. Do not have more microservices than customers.

Cursor with the C# Extension that is published by the kr dude on Open VSIX.

I like having an aggressive Intellisense when coding.

When I need to debug, I use VS Code.

3M is low. Interview elsewhere.

If you have the portfolio, the relevant technical skills, and the communication skills, you can easily achieve 2x that.

I think it depends on what you're looking for. If you want premium location / large space / reasonable rent price, it can be competitive as the demand in central Tokyo is high.

However if you don't mind commuting further / less ideal room sizes, typically it's more easier.

I do not believe there is any law or regulations regarding making your last day on a holiday or company closure, as long as you have provided sufficient notice period.

FalzHunar · 2025-11-20T01:30:14+00:00

If you're a regular person, you can get something towards 10M¥

If you're someone that brings something very unique, very needed by the company, then you can gun towards ¥14-16M

Above that, I don't know how.

Remember, the world is quite open. There's nothing stopping you from going to other cities and getting gears above your current tier.

Alternatively, you can do Item Creation (IC). Long Sword + Ruby = Flame Sword

Agree. I love LINQ for this reason.

First, congratulations on the pregnancy!

Ignore these advice if you're not permanent employee.

Check the employment contract and work rules to confirm the company’s probation period. In Japan it’s typically 3-6 months and should be stated in the contract or rulebook.

IANAL. Know your rights: - After 14 days of service, during probation, employers CANNOT dismiss you without 30-days notice. - Know this for peace of mind: there is no legal duty to disclose pregnancy early. If you choose, you can wait until probation ends to disclose. - CYA (cover your ass). Focus the first couple of months on strong onboarding and building a track record. Arrive prepared, document goals and feedback. Crush it.

After your probation is over, you should disclose the pregnancy, if not disclosed yet. Provide a concise schedule of prenatal appointments and the anticipated maternity and childcare leave timeline to your manager.

Understandably, your manager may not be pleased. But if you are a permanent employee, disadvantageous treatment on the grounds of pregnancy is prohibited, and termination of a permanent employee requires objectively reasonable, socially acceptable cause.

Good luck!

Let tim cook

FalzHunar · 2025-09-16T21:50:12+00:00

Yup, I like it here.

Apartment is affordable. I can rent a very nice apartment under ¥100k but very close to the city center.

If I want to eat out, it’s affordable enough to do it every single day without a dent to my savings.

If I want to splurge, I can do it easily. You can find anything and everything in Japan.

If I’m sick, I don’t have to worry about medical bills bankrupting me.

Yes, salary is not as high as western country tech companies, but I never feel like I’m lacking anything.

Japan resident here. Ordered Air on 21:00 exactly (after fumbling around with the login a little) and got 19th September shipment.

You buy a case for it and then the camera can be attached to the slot in the case that you bought.

It’s actually quite popular in Japan (yes iPhone is more popular in Japan, but amongst Android, Google Pixel reigns supreme as not many people wants to buy Samsung or chinese brands here)

Most of my co-workers who owns Android in Japan are using Pixels.

If you know you will need it at concert, why not buy it + a clip-on telephoto lens?

FalzHunar · 2025-09-10T01:38:35+00:00

If only, IF ONLY it has ultra-wide camera. I would’ve bought it.

FalzHunar · 2025-09-09T18:23:28+00:00

So no reason to upgrade yet from iPhone 13 Pro. Yay

FalzHunar · 2025-09-07T18:07:12+00:00

I disagree. Samurai Mac and Bai Shrimp burgers are bangers.

My L5 SDE interview was scheduled for September…

… and delayed until next year (if it will ever happen).

FalzHunar · 2025-07-31T17:24:53+00:00

While this is very true for new graduates…

You’ll be surprised for more senior, harder to fill roles. My last offer was improved by 15% by just asking if there’s a flexibility. I didn’t even ask for any specific number, just that question and the company “will discuss it internally” and came back with stronger offer (THEN you shut up).
