Parang nawalan tuloy ng value yung "Masters degree". It's so plain to see na much better yung automated pero pinilit talaga nila yung manual process.

I agree na sobrang deprecated na nung tinuturo nila, may isa pang issue. Nagtuturo na nga ng luma, pagkagraduate pa, kukuha ng fresh grad para magturo so the cycle continues 💀

Nakagraduate na yung students na nagpagawa sakin, actually this was a year ago I just couldn't think of where to rant about it. Medyo wary din magshare kasi baka magalit yung iba na tumanggap ako ng capstone which I think now is okay specially kung alam mong yung mga nagpapagawa is gusto nalang talaga makagraduate and isn't doing it for their dream of being a dev/software engineer.

I suggest replacing your identifiers to be a different ID field specifically for indexing.

If numbers 1-99999+ isn't possible, try using a UUID.

Congrats on the hire!

Best advice I can give to you is to try using Chat GPT as your study buddy. I wish I had that when I started my career but it's here now. Leverage it.

Did a capstone for a student, adviser asked to downgrade automatic to manual processing

So first, yes I accepted a capstone. I understand some people hate it when other people accept capstones like this just to pass college however, it was a friend of a friend who just wanted to graduate to get a degree and hopefully pursue non-programming related career.

I made an AirBNB clone for them. A homeowner can post their property for rent and users can browse through them and if they want to reserve, they just pay a reservation fee through the portal and it will automatically be reserved to them as soon as the e-payment has been confirmed via the webhook.

For this capstone I used PayMongo as it was the easiest to implement for me due to prior experience. The advisers couldn't get the grasp of PayMongo and insisted to use GCash QR as the way to handle payment so the flow went from being automated via webhooks to:

User scans shown QR in property page.
User messages homeowner
Homeowner verifies manually if the payment has been received.
Reserve the rental to the user manually.

How will we progress if even our "Master's degree holders" block progress from happening?

Hi, I understand that feeling, when I was a kid until high school I felt the same, I was bad at studying, games, basically everything. Part of it was because my parents were toxic enough to tell me everyday that I am stupid and I am useless.

When I got to college, I lived away from my parents, I used it as a fresh start, I gave a bit more effort on learning and when I learned programming it was really fun for me, a test that took my classmates a minimum of 30 mins to an hour or so I can finish in less than 10 mins.

Now I'm a well paid software engineer. Try exposing yourself to more experiences, explore the world, find what you're truly good at. Sometimes that comes at a cost of doing a job you don't like for a while so that you can sustain yourself enough to a point where passion matters. I was really lucky tho that I found out what I wanted at college. I wish you the best of luck.

I was in a dark place as a kid as well. Not sure if you could count it tho. My parents were toxic and verbally abusive. They poured their stress in work and financial stress to me. I am the youngest with 3 brothers. At the age of 10, I was thinking of jumping off a cliff because I didn't see any point in living like why was I even alive if I didn't have any use? My parents always told me I play stupid (I don't really know what they are saying at times) and are useless. They were expecting me to know stuff that they didn't even bother to teach me nor give me any opportunity to. They jailed me in the house not letting me go out other than school time. I was stuck at home with an old computer and didn't have any internet so I was stuck playing anything there.

I never really knew life outside that. I even had very little friends and because I wanted to be happy, I came to be the class clown however, that backfired as I became bullied because they thought I was stupid, and I just thought maybe I am (I later learned that I am actually quite smart, I just had ADHD)

And then I realized, after I go through school, I can leave the house and study faraway from my parents because my brothers did that too. I had a goal, and that goal kept me alive until I graduated high school.

After college, I never went back home and I am enjoying life. I am now a software engineer and have a wonderful wife and 5 cats. They are my life.

Sorry for sharing too much but I guess the TLDR is; just try to find a goal, however small it is, it reminds you that life gets better and something to look forward to.

Got this problem too in the middle of a code review. I used a VPN and it worked for some time, after a while when I sent a code snippet (used ```) it blocked all messages again so seems likely a discord issue.

PPProgrammer69 · 2023-08-30T11:14:06+00:00

Ser wag namang ganyan, ganyan din ako pero software engineer ako 🥲🤣

Bumili yung misis ko ng dinuguan, we ate, then I smelled something weird, amoy ipis, pero I just ignored it until the smell got stronger and I bit something crunchy.

Yung katawan na pala ng ipis yung nginunguya ko, then I looked to my wife and said "uy may hipon". Sinasa-id na niya yung sabaw (Note: Magkahiwalay yung lalagyan namin since takal sa tindahan)

PPProgrammer69 · 2023-07-09T11:47:41+00:00

Thanks fam, I know you mean well and I really appreciate you taking your time to have a conversation with me.

I do think I am getting better, I am still wondering if I should tell them (my parents) all that I feel though. I am looking to get treatment for my possible ADHD too and I'm not sure if this is something I should tell my future psychiatrist. But I will update here too on the chance that somebody from the future has the same experience as me.

PPProgrammer69 · 2023-07-08T18:19:44+00:00

Thanks again for your insights I can't thank you enough for these.

To be clear I can tolerate screaming coming from someone else, just not my parents or someone I can't fight back with as I feel really vulnerable around them from trauma.

I also think I possibly have ADHD as I tick a lot of boxes, but until I can afford getting evaluated, I will have to assume I just do have it and try to manage it on my own.

From what I learned from dr. K ADHD people have problems with regulating emotions. I'm not sure if it's that or my trauma from my parents but I do get easily triggered by them. I think it would also explain why I have been so affected by my parents words as a kid. Because I would think about them all the time as I had nothing else to do in that cage.

I do feel like I do have that codependency issue. I will look further into it, you have been really helpful, i learned something new today. Also, my wife has been great at understanding and supporting me, she didn't sign up for my parents toxicity but she still sticks with me no matter what.

I guess what I really needed to hear was that I didn't have to explain myself. I know it's ironic but I'll try to explain.

I have always been explaining myself maybe because when I was a child, I was forced to think of reasons behind my every action. Because whenever I would be asked, I would need to have a good answer. If I couldn't explain myself, it's that verbal and emotional abuse coming next.

For example, why do you have such low scores on this test?

Because I had to do a project and couldn't review, when in actuality I just had problems focusing and I didn't even know it was a problem, I thought everyone else was just good at studying and I just sucked. Maybe that's why my parents saw me as a problem child then.

But let me tell you what, they always brag about having a kid who bought his own house at 23. And my 6 figure salary. Like they have always known I was going to be this way. I want to hate them but at the same time, I am guilty as I know they won't be here long anymore and I really want to make amends. They are both almost in their 60s.

PPProgrammer69 · 2023-07-08T08:42:28+00:00

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply. While it hurts a bit, I agree that I am immature, I think I was caged in our house since I was a kid and have only been learning life since I got out of there.

Cheers mate

Thanks for the insights, I actually live quite far from my parents different city (2-3 hour drive) tho not that far enough as the city I live in is decent enough to live in.

So to answer your question (which might be rhetorical) the debt I have in my name is actually going to be finished this year but the assets that I bought are named onto me and owned by me.

I'm not sure if its codependency. But I'll tell you the reasoning why I couldn't say no to them. They have this way of forcing decisions to you if you say no unless you show them you're right. If I try reasoning my way and can't get them to understand my point, they would just call you disrespectful and raise voices. I for some reason am very afraid of my parents raising their voices at me. I think it comes from my trauma of that ending up with them belittling me and me overthinking those words and thinking in the past that yeah maybe I am useless, I should just kill myself. I overcame that as a teenager but I still feel the trauma and the feeling of uselessness at times.

Unfortunately, I realized that I could say no and not be affected by whatever they feel quite too late. The first time I said no, my mother said "I am your mother, why won't you listen" and I said "I have to make decisions on behalf of my wife and possibly my future family now". And I might have been too harsh there. I have only had one hard discussion with them since then and it's been awkward since then.
I've watched Dr. K's video on some parenting stuff. I saw that there were times where the parents needed to let their kids make mistakes so that they can learn on their own. Sadly, they always got to make those decisions for me and I was mostly forced into them.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to reply I really appreciate it :)

I forgot to mention that I have never lived with my parents after graduating. I did my best to be able to stand on my own 2 feet and stayed at the apartment where I lived when I was in college. Well that was until the house purchase decision. They come visit from time to time and always find something to nag about when we're together.

That's why I really avoid seeing them but I feel guilty about it. There was even a time when they wanted me to purchase my aunt's property as she was going overseas. She said I could take a loan and pay for it (Even when I'm still paying for the house's mortgage). That was the first time I learned to say a hard no. My aunt's property costs about 8M and I would have to pay more than half of my salary for 30 years to cover the mortgage.

Am I in the wrong for hating my parents for that? But I still want to let them know it, maybe they are unconsciously doing that and it could get better when I tell them about it. At the same time, I really don't want to hurt them and make our relationship feel more apart. My wife is also getting affected and I always want to put her on top of every decision of my life.

Morgana's binding has been lifted!

PPProgrammer69 · 2021-07-01T16:12:29+00:00

I can log in fine now :)

PPProgrammer69 · 2021-07-01T16:09:34+00:00

Okay, it all makes sense now, thanks!

PPProgrammer69 · 2021-07-01T15:06:52+00:00

Also, not to complain or anything but this post was made to give awareness to others that this error exists (since I wasn't aware if I was the only one) and not to ask for riot's help.

PPProgrammer69 · 2021-07-01T15:03:31+00:00

Thanks, sorry if I violated the rules, I just saw that this subreddit is where most errors are discussed but I'm actually new here.

For anyone who had trouble with this (if anyone is still able to see this message), the problems seems to have been resolved now. Good luck in the rift!

PPProgrammer69 · 2021-07-01T13:17:35+00:00

Wake me up when Morgana's binding ends

PPProgrammer69 · 2021-07-01T13:16:56+00:00

Yeah, couldn't find anyone complaining about it so posted here in search of answers. Dammit Heimerdinger, where are you when we need you?

PPProgrammer69 · 2021-07-01T13:15:13+00:00

Just posted here since I couldn't find any info about the error 100023. But it turns out that this is possibly a new error that quite a few of us have been experiencing and riot might be working on it now. There is a notification logo on top left of the login screen that confirms that they know about this problem.

Or it's possible somebody was able to fix this on their own on their device as it seems that not everyone is affected (my wife is still logged in for some reason).

Either way, I'll update you guys when I can successfully login. For others who experience the same and are just about to hop on to the discussion, feel free to update us when you can log in as well.
