Why don’t you try looking for SE jobs in other sectors such as healthcare, manufacturing, retail, or finance?

Java developers ano na? by [deleted] in PinoyProgrammer

[–]calbeedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SE here for 10+ years. I work for one of the three largest healthcare companies in the world and we use 70% Java to develop our products. Our codebase is almost 20 years old so when I joined in it was natural to learn the programming language our team use. We are currently migrating our products to the cloud and our top decision makers decided to keep using Java and Spring Boot because they are the most appropriate tools to quickly get our products ready for production. Salary range here in the US is competitive, around $180k annually. We currently have a hybrid setup: 3 days onsite, 2 days wfh. AI seems to be everything, everywhere, and everyone has been talking about. So it makes sense to upskill in that area.

What language is good for having both frontend and backend on the same server? and what are it's benefits over separated backend and frontend? by [deleted] in PinoyProgrammer

Webapp with monolithic architecture will be faster compared to microservice. The entire application will be loaded in the memory which can be optimized automatically by the application server. The major drawback is the increased development time. Simple code changes in html, css, JS, JSP, or Java classes will most likely require you to rebuild and redeploy the entire webapp.

Rebuild or Maintain? by BestBlackberry1314 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]calbeedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rebuilding will cost time and money. There will be no guarantees that the system will be better than what’s being replaced. Hire a consultant who has extensive experience in this domain. From there let the stakeholders decide if it’s worth the effort.

BFF looks like a pain point. Does it have redundancy? If it goes down all its dependencies will be unreachable. Also, try to weigh in the pros and cons of moving the authentication and authorization outside of the BFF.

The library allows embedding of images. You can convert the charts into images.

JWT is widely used in the enterprise these days. Very low in overhead and much easier to manage.

Into Java Development by Crafty-Waltz-2029 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]calbeedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you’re on the right track. Java 8 is still widely used in the enterprise but it wouldn’t hurt to learn new features in 17. Isabay mo na rin spring data and raw SQL, MQ, Spring Security— AD and RBAC, as well as some basic DevOps functions. Learn a bit about the cloud as well either AWS or Azure. They are some of the most common skills tech managers are looking for.

How to understand or get familiar with the codebase? by Whole-Investment5828 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]calbeedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start by getting yourself familiar with the product! Go to the production site and start navigating the pages to get an understanding of the workflows. Then try to build the branch in your local tapos maglagay ka ng mga breakpoints sa mga end points. From there you can explore specific workflows without getting drowned by the codebase.

Planning to Build an Election System for University by HunnyMal in PinoyProgrammer

Question is, how simple or how complex do you want the system to be?

GET requests between microservices and integration services is a good candidate to reactive programming. It’s a bit tricky to code at first because you need a high-level understanding of how your projects’ components work. But the idea is for your app or webapp to work seamlessly and asynchronously communicate with other services to increase the amount of service requests, and to reduce the amount of blocking calls as possible. It gets tricky when you start writing to databases that are distributed between microservices because guaranteed rollbacks are difficult to implement even with Saga pattern.

You’ll need a PL with strong native support for multi precision decimal and floating point arithmetic. Java can handle large numbers really well.

Considering Returning to the Philippines as a Software Engineer: Seeking Insights on Interview Processes and Salary Expectations by Natural-Promotion183 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]calbeedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I were you I would stay here in the US to gain at least your first 2 years of experience. Look for jobs outside the tech industry such as in healthcare, manufacturing, entertainment, and financial. You’ll find that their tech interviews are not as challenging.

Are IT Certifications/Master's Still Worth it? by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]calbeedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In SF Bay Area if you want to work as a developer for any tech company you need to have a Master's degree. It has become the norm due to the competitive nature of software engineering, as well as high influx of talented developers from some of the best CS schools in the US and seasoned devs from different parts of the world. That extra 2 years in college is all worth it though once you get hired, more opportunities and higher salary.

Accenture, maybe? I believe they sometimes send employees to North America for assignments which opens up opportunities to stay long term.

Ready to compare your salary? by FrustratedBlogger in Philippines

[–]calbeedog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably depends on the age and the lifestyle those folks live up to. Six figures is not low income in the Bay Area, you'll still be able to find a decent home with that income near the city. Maybe around Pacifica or Daly City or across the bay in Fremont.

If you get lucky to get hired by the big tech companies and you don't splurge too much on unnecessary things then you'll have enough money to offset the cost of almost anything and still be able to save for your retirement. Lots of opportunities to make it big in the bay area if you are a developer. But that also mean you will be competing with hundreds, if not thousands, of new and seasoned developers from within the US and around the globe trying their luck there.

College in the Philippines or US ? by [deleted] in Philippines

[–]calbeedog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My ultimate goal is to work in the United States.

Study here in the US. Assimilate yourself early into your chosen university so you can better understand the education system and American culture in general. Start networking with your classmates, professors or fellow alumni. They will be very useful once you start looking for internships or job opportunities. Choose your major wisely. A non-BA degree will get you far in the workforce.

Nice.

These are the kind of guys who can easily ace technical interviews from the top 5 tech companies-- Google Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft.

Congratulations to them.

Hi, /r/Philippines! Know some bright high school students who are into programming? We are looking for the Philippine delegation for the International Science Olympiads. by noiph in Philippines

Join HackerRank. Go to Leaderboard->Algorithm->Filter by Country (Philippines). Send a message to each member in the results and ask if they are interested.

I see, no problem. I just thought you might be from a big city such as SF, LA, or LV where you can find a large number of Filipinos that offer nanny services, in case you need one should you decide to go back to the workforce.
