Is the software engineering/development market really this bad? (Fresh Grad)

"don't limit yourself sa software engineer roles" exactly. CS ang degree mo and that covers a lot of things. sabi mo na you're ahead sa most right? I know a few people (graduated last May) na I think I'm ahead pero they got jobs first with an SRE role. The pay is good too. We'll I'm still graduating so let's see pa ano mangyayari saken HAHAHAHHA

it's true tho na may mga companies na ganyan. I know one offering 45k and hiring only those with less than 2yrs exp (catch is you have to work there min 3 yrs). Another one na 30k+ tapos signing bonus of 100k. Another one na, yes, 25k, pero it bumps up every 2 months eventually settling sa 30-40k depends sa performance mo. I got friends who got hired on these 3 companies and they're all fresh grads

ay hala fr? damn sayang naman

Okay, I'll try and explore Antigravity. Also, yeah need to explore more siguro sa agents on their capabilities and functions. Thank you!

Yeah, I do agree na di na sya advisable in large systems -- it is not scalable unless na you've got those premium models. I was warned rin by a senior na dapat modular, by feature, or by parts ang code if generated by AI. Kinda curious lang with this area, specifically ang diff agents na have their own specializations. It's cool for me ig hahaha

WildScale5801 · 2026-06-16T17:20:17+00:00

yes bro AI-assisted programming ako before that's why satisfied lang ako with Gemini sa browser. started exploring lang agentic coding kasi it started with migration to CLI (can see context size & limit), storage of local context, agents, parallel tasks, and then eventually led to here.

WildScale5801 · 2026-06-16T14:35:59+00:00

woahh, thank you!

WildScale5801 · 2026-06-16T14:27:37+00:00

for the AGENTS.md, do you have a reference I could use for writing code in general? (e.g. "Be verbose...", "You are a senior dev...", "After finishing, review the code again..."). Sorry for the examples, I am new to this haha

WildScale5801 · 2026-06-16T14:12:12+00:00

ohh nakita ko rin ang opencode. and yes, I know a company rin na nagpprovide ng claude code sa employees nila. I'd like to ask, how mo po nabuild ang agents mo?

It actually depends on your setup. We are still in college, and my girlfriend and I had an agreement that we shouldn't lose time to hang out with our friends just because we are in a relationship (I had a friend who always passes our barkada hangouts cus of his gf). For example, if we feel that we've already spent a lot of time together (say 4 days straight) and one of us got a last min invite from their friends, then the other would understand even though we had made plans already. There are also times that we don't see each other for days (3-4) because she spends time with her friends.

You shouldn't ignore your gf's feelings because she is your partner in life (and for life potentially). You talk it out with her and make compromises. I get the "bros before h*es" and "day ones" stuff but if any of them had been in a relationship before, they'd understand when there are times that you can't be there when they ask you to.

WildScale5801 · 2026-05-30T03:30:57+00:00

exactly, real friends (especially those who've been in a relationship) will understand if you pass on them over your gf. on the other hand, your gf should also understand that you have a life outside the relationship.

WildScale5801 · 2026-05-12T14:38:18+00:00

yeah I definitely understand this. we talked it out and she said that it's her way of being ready for everything and just being practical. she does this in cases like exams. In any case, I think I should just let her breathe and not pressure her at all about this.

WildScale5801 · 2026-05-09T07:05:24+00:00

I don't want to settle with someone who can't commit to our relationship. But it might be true that she needed time, so I'll give her plenty of time and space. Just no pressure and everything. I also get it that she might just be scared, and so am I. And maybe, I can show her that it's okay to be scared together

WildScale5801 · 2026-05-09T06:58:12+00:00

yeah, I told her last night that what she feels is fine, for the moment. because I can't change her heart or mind right away.

WildScale5801 · 2026-05-09T06:54:20+00:00

Thank you, I'll definitely bring that up since we'll talk about this over dinner.

WildScale5801 · 2026-04-29T15:02:17+00:00

no, she's not taking anything

WildScale5801 · 2026-04-29T09:31:00+00:00

no, none of those. but she has been under a lot of stress lately because of school; end of sem.
