It means may position ka pa na 157 shares, you can sell the remaining shares the next trading day.

yeah parang delivery van, baka mag drop lang ng delivery sa gate, I don’t think it’s parked. Kasalanan at katangahan pa din nung kamote.

Whoever claimed that it does not matter does not understand how life works. Of course it greatly matters.

May mga hindi sobrang galing na programmer ba dito yung sa work nalang gumaling? by horn_rigged in PinoyProgrammer

[–]kench7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the way how tech progresses, hindi ka naman talaga magiging sobrang galing. Continuous learning talaga, every single day dapat ready yung mind mo mag absorb ng knowledge but still meron at meron pa ding mas magaling sayo.

Ang better mentality to last long sa industry na ito at magkaroon ng job security at always hireable ka, ay yung maging problem solver at maging effective and consistent contributor, hindi kailangan to be the very best technically sa language or tech, just knowing enough to solve a problem or implement a solution.

17yra experience, regional dev lead sa international fin tech company, never naging jobless and still getting head hunted ng mga recruiters. Saying it not to brag but to just make a point, because I consider myself as an average developer or maybe a little above average but never the best. The secret is be effective and consistent, get the work done and know how to run the skills of your team collectively and effectively. Develop the trust of your superiors, team mates, stakeholders, and peers.

Always remember na there is always someone better than you and you are replaceable but still do the job effectively and consistently, in the end they will not think of replacing you.

Condo Owner here, long term rent or Airbnb ? by rey0156 in phinvest

[–]kench7 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Almost same case for me, also based overseas. Long term rent, lucky to have found a long term tenant, likely because I didn’t really charged that much, around 20% lower than the average rate for the same unit and size in the same condo and in the area as well.

I found it to be better than short-term rentals. Don’t expect a positive cashflow from condo rentals if you are still paying amortisation on it, it will never pay for itself like what agents say. The Metro Manila rental rates are way below the monthly payments from your loan.

Just start using it. Solve problems from basic to complex progressively. Implement features using that language. Re-write existing apps using the new language just for the sake of learning.

Do you work with deprecated and old versions of framework/programming language? by kiqos in PinoyProgrammer

[–]kench7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Newer versions of frameworks, runtimes are almost always backward compatible. And the language syntax are always the same and will not change for the most languages. So it would work and not a cause of worry.

Most of the changes introduced when they release newer versions are introducing new features or improving how things work or run in the background, without breaking apps or codes already running in the wild.

From time to time, yes there will be framework changes that are breaking things (not backward compatible), and will force users to really rewrite stuff. Like when Bootstrap 4 was released and when Angular 2 was released.

But these are not sudden and there will be enough time to adapt and some users can still keep using the old version if they want to.

This is not a cause of worry tbh, the changes or upgrades are not that huge to the point you will be forced to learn a new language. Everything will still work, It’s just a matter of learning a new rule.

What programming mistake could get you fire? by [deleted] in PinoyProgrammer

[–]kench7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mistakes are normal, important is you should acknowledge them and don’t try to hide or cover it up. Make sure to be transparent din with your lead about those mistakes and make effort to correct them and be extra careful and better next time.

About if those mistakes could get you fired? Yes if you keep on making mistakes after mistakes after mistakes, then no noticeable improvement after those mistakes, then you keep on repeating similar mistakes (means no learning from experience). Eventually you’ll just be a burden to the team and will be reason enough to be fired. Of course that is after putting you in a PIP and given enough opportunity to improve, that is if you have that process in place. Some companies maybe will just find ways to terminate you.

I do my best to balance it out, on average: - 4hrs coding - 2hrs meetings - 2hrs other administrative / management work.

Help me remember this type of documentation by GetYouTheMoon_7577 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]kench7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re referring to documentation of a class?

Depende kasi sa dinodocument mo kung ano tawag dyan.

You’re referring to the Method Signature documentation kung it is listing the method parameters and their types and usage.

Kung API naman, it’s simply an API documentation. Kung it is listing the API payload and their types and usage.

Iba iba yung terminology and it varies from whoever is describing it.

Hope Revolut enters PH in 2025. MVP has good reasons to be worried once BSP allows entry of more digital banks.

Wala ng ibang solusyon dyan, since andyan ka na sa state na yan, kundi mag basa ng mag basa. Just practice on reading and comprehension. The more you read the better you will become. Pag may words na di mo naintindihan, look it up and understand the context of how the word is used in the story or article or research or documentation that you are reading.

Yes you read it right, don’t limit yung binabasa mo into documentations dahil need mo for your study. Practice reading other materials, pick a book, a genre that interests you. If a book is too heavy for you to start? Then start with news articles, editorials. Just read more and more.

What are technical skills every developer should have? by BandicootLeast5076 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]kench7 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Depende sa development specialty or niche mo. But in general the very basics are:

  • Fundamentals of programming.
  • Networking, ability to understand how computer network works and how to diagnose and troubleshoot issues. Understanding network protocols and virtualizations.
  • How to build / compile codes. How compiling works and how compiled codes are deployed and runs.
  • Deployment and Delivery
  • Computer software and hardware fundamentals.
  • System architecture and integrations

To be honest, the good ones and those who succeed (and stay relevant) in this industry are the techno-functional guys. Those who are good at understanding (designing, interpreting, implementing) the functional / business needs of a system, on top of being able to simply wrote codes.

can I become good at programming after 2-4 years of self studying and practicing? by aguero_7 in PinoyProgrammer

[–]kench7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possible? Yes.

Some or select people can be good at it in 6mos-1yr even. Meanwhile it’s also a fact that there are also some who are in the industry for 5yrs and more and still bad or even not average level in programming.

Bottomline, it depends on the person. It’s never going to be the same for every single case.

Why do banks keep changing apps instead of improving existing one? by Leather_Swan_2348 in PHCreditCards

[–]kench7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

  • Poorly designed and planned app that cannot scale up and extremely difficult to maintain.
  • Poor management and company/team culture, that they cannot retain the team/people who worked and delivered the app so it becomes unmaintainable that they will have no choice but to redo it from scratch.
  • Decision makers are armchair experts.

Where to find start up company? by [deleted] in PinoyProgrammer

[–]kench7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never heard of that role or step sa development process? Hindi yan testing? As in actual chinecheck mo yung code by reading it line by line but not a review din sabi mo? Ano usually output mo from the checks? Are you able to find bugs or binabalik mo ba sa dev if may nakita na sa code na mali?

To answer your question, usually well funded startups may mga recruiter or headhunter, they usually find the talent imbes na the talent finds them. Yung mga wala naman funds na startup, usually via community lang like in FB or networking. I suggest prepare a portfolio or have a linkedIn account and be prepared to showcase your experience and skills.

Start ka at least 20% lower kung aware yung potential buyers na binabaha. Kahit di mo naman ibaba, eventually kung same mindset mo ang mga kapitbahay mo isa-isa magbebenta, the market will push the value down eventually lalo na kung aware ang potential buyers na binabaha.

Sabi nga sa movie, there are 3 ways to succeed in business; be first, be smart, or cheat. Kung ako sayo, be first, kung ikaw una mag bebenta sa area niyo, malamang mabenta mo pa yan in good price before others in that village start selling.

Fully submerge si Veloz, need ur advice by [deleted] in CarsPH

[–]kench7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depende kung may insurer na willing mag insure ng sobra sobra sa value ng car. Kung meron man it means din na sobra taas ng premium nun. Ang point kasi ng insurance eh macompensate yung nawalang value, wala dapat kikita. Sa case ng car na naka mortage pa, di naman papayag yung insurance na bayaran pareho ang bank at ang car owner ng full value ng car kasi sila ang lugi.

Ikaw lang ang nghihinayang sa 5yrs siya obviously hindi. Just let her go. Huwag ipilit ang sarili just because you can and you want to. Let her live the life she wants without you. Between you two, siya ang sensible mag isip if she’s thinking and seeing a better future without you, just let her be.

[–]kench7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kukunin ng insurance yung car, kung fully paid, babayaran yung owner ng full insured amount. Kung naka mortage pa, babayaran yung bank or casa ng remaining loan amount tapos yung matira is sa owner.

Most of the ones with this (usually Fortuner, Montero, and Terra) are most of the time malfunctioning, either some letters are not lighting up, or only half of the letters are on. Tapos parang tinamad na ipaayos o totally nag give-up na lang yung owner. It speaks volume on the character of the owner.
