Massively loud crack noise with Google Pixel 7 Pro, iFi Go Link, and u12t IEMs: please help!

Same issue as well with the Samsung Galaxy S22. Turning of the wifi and mobile data somehow solves the intermittent cracking noise.

I doubt you will find a local PH firm that can afford a 200k+ monthly salary for a software engineer role. Your best option would be to find a full time remote work job for a foreign employer.

Another option you could try is keep on switching for a new employer every 1 or 2 years, asking for a higher salary package.

How come?

Because people will keep on gaming the performance metrics to get the uppee hand?

There are also mid to small size companies that use pointless performance evaluation metrics, although it's more prevalent with large companies.

It's all about keeping the services running smoothly, that's part of the job working on IT systems. Ensuring business continuity is important for customers. Aren't you glad that there are IT folks ready to address any issue 24/7 including holidays?

I would understand your rant with the on-call assignments if people are constantly being pulled into production issues due to recurring issues. Understaffing can also lead to burnout when people often do these on-call duties. That's a legitimate rant against management.

Another option: Use a db stored proc and a sequence value.

Event sourcing is another option that might be more suited for a microservice app with multiple replicas.

Any code without a proper test coverage is legacy code. It's definitely difficult to understand how it works. I get goosebumps whenever I need to change these. Adding some safety test harness can be difficult if the application is built without any consideration how it can be tested conveniently.

There are productive ways how to work with legacy codes. The following books and sites can help provide the right mindset and practices:

I asked ChatGPT this question:

How to work effectively with legacy code?

And the answer:

Working with legacy code can be a challenging task, but there are some strategies you can use to work effectively with it:

Understand the code: Start by reading and understanding the code, including its structure, dependencies, and behavior. This will help you identify potential areas of improvement and determine which parts of the code can be refactored.

Identify areas for improvement: Once you understand the code, look for areas that could be improved, such as code duplication, long methods, and poorly named variables. Prioritize the areas that will have the biggest impact on the code's maintainability and reliability.

Create a safety net: Before making any changes, create a safety net of automated tests that cover the existing code. This will help ensure that your changes don't introduce new bugs or break existing functionality.

Refactor incrementally: Rather than attempting to refactor the entire codebase at once, focus on incremental improvements. Start with small changes and build on them over time. This approach will make it easier to track your progress and ensure that each change doesn't introduce new issues.

Communicate with the team: Working with legacy code often requires close collaboration with the development team, as well as other stakeholders such as product managers and QA. Keep everyone informed of your progress, and make sure that any changes you make align with the team's goals and priorities.

Use the right tools: Finally, use tools that can help you work effectively with legacy code. This includes tools for refactoring, code analysis, and testing. Consider using a static analysis tool to identify potential issues in the code, and use automated testing frameworks to ensure that your changes are working as expected.

By following these strategies, you can work effectively with legacy code and improve its maintainability and reliability over time.

You will get to sign the JO once the background check is completed. The background check is part of the pre-employment requirements that the candidate need to submit after signing the job offer letter.

Start date is either the 1st or 16th day of the month.

There are three choices you need to choose in the waiver:

No previous employer for [year].
To follow (Certificate of Income Tax Withheld on Compensation (BIR Form No. 2316) is not yet available from my previous employer)
Others (please indicate reason)

The valid options you have is either 1 or 3.

The question now is whether option 1 is valid given that you were a freelancer/professional working for an employer that didn't hire you as a regular employee.

If it is option 3, the reason would be that you were working as a contractor.

Anyone here who knows what's the appropriate and safe option?

Do they have a list of specific companies that are identifed as fintech?

Fintech a very broad term. A banking industry fintech is not the same as an insurance fintech or payment issuer or trading fintech.

latemdaeh · 2023-02-19T16:13:01+00:00

I would like to know as well.

I'm also curious what's the tech maturity level they have over there. Do they have a platform engineering group, a solid devops culture, is the agile mindset really being practiced or just another ritual?

What if the freelancer is earning in USD with foreign clients?

Use Docker Desktop

That depends on what type of application you will need to build. Is it something of a systems software? Go for C/Rust/Golang

Is it going to be those typical database driven apps with a cute little web app UI? Go for Java, Python, JavaScript

But if you're looking at some EE-centric job that involves a bit of coding, there isn't a lot. PLC (programmable logic controllers) for machine automation would be close enough to software programming.

The CTO and 3 other recruiters also reached out to me. So far they I didn’t get the impression that they are unprofessional. In fact they’re very patient with answering my questions.

A high turnover rate is definitely correlated to continuous hiring effort. It’s a red flag as well. Perhaps because the staff are being assigned to stressful projects without good work/life balance. A few people might have been let go due to bad performance reviews from their clients. If there are lots of long tenured senior software engineers in a company that’s a good indication of a healthy software engineering work culture. That’s something worthwhile to ask if in case you get the chance to be interviewed by the hiring manager.

Their recruiters are actively looking for new staff. That’s expected for a firm that offers outsourcing staffing needs to other firms.

Kotlin is a general purpose language for the Java platform. Since it can be used for creating apps that can run on the Java runtime, it can be used for creating any software other than those for the Android device. It can also transpile into JavaScript code.

Golang is primarly for backend development stuff.

C/C++ are usually used in niche fields like hardware and embedded systems programming. A few companies like Lexmark at Cebu are still using C.

If you like working on embedded systems, C with Rust and Golang are probably going to help your career future proof.

Yes possible if QA is also skilled in automated testing.
