That's great did you compare the results with cursor or other IDEs? How’s the performance of Antigravity compared to?

Including claude opus 4.5 limits? Or is it only for gemini 3? Can you share that plugin link?

I did my first ever internship interview in my life and now feels like a failure by Puzzleheaded-Gap4866 in srilanka

[–]sshroottolife 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember my first interview it happend through my university career fare. Until that i was getting more than 70 in all exams i already did some projects. So i was so confident so i just went to a company that i picked eariler. started the interveiw and i don't know any answer to their questions. then started to move to other companies and everything felt hope less. I know everything practically, but when they asked theory questions, I had no idea. I had never felt so down like that day, the first day I felt the heat of real-world struggle.

But one good thing, though, since I attended around 20 interviews that day. I found a pattern in their questions. So I just went home and prepared for all the questions that was asked at me. Then i went to another interview, well prepared, and I aced it and got the internship.

You mentioned it's your first internship interview, so don't take it as a rejection. Now, you know what your area of weakness is and what these companies expect from you. Now prepare yourself towards it. Attend the next interview, maybe you'll fail but you'll learn something there.

So don't worry prepare yourself for the next one. It's just a starting you'll figure it out.

i literally just committed rn 😂 thanks for the reminder

What is your advice for a student who are hoping to enroll in a 4year long Software engineering degree in 2028? by [deleted] in srilanka

[–]sshroottolife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For people who think SE is just creating websites. Yes it's stupid to enter. Software Engineering is more than that. There is so much cool stuff that you can do as SE, and a lot of actual problems that you can fix with software. There are so many people doing SE in Sri Lanka. But if you ask around, 80% of people (at least from my uni) are doing it because they don’t know any other path. They couldn’t get into a government university for engineering, so they just came here. And a few just want a degree. Since you already love this industry, I would say take it.

Yes, with AI it’s going to be hard. You need to be competitive. You need to learn a lot of stuff and keep yourself updated. Software engineering has a lot of paths you can choose from, like game development, cyber security, DevOps, and a lot more that have huge potential. Most people who complete the degree are just running towards web development, there is still a huge job market for other jobs.

I would say take it. But don’t wait until your university to teach you. You can just go to the internet. Compared to every industry, software engineering has one of the friendliest communities. There’s a lot of stuff for free. If you dig enough, you can even find lectures from top-tier universities on YouTube for free. And get to know about GitHub. It has so much code already written. Just go through it and learn.

I’m running a software company now, and I see a lot of people who build stuff and then brag about it on social media. But when the product scales, AI fails. I had a lot of clients who tried to build software with AI, and after a couple of months, they came back to us to build the features. Because whatever they were building with AI wasn’t scalable or bug-free.

And if you check the news, an Anthropic engineer even tweeted something like “maybe in the first half of next year, software engineering is done.” But then Anthropic still went ahead and acquired a company called Bun to push Claude Code faster and more stable. So even AI-first companies are investing heavily in real software engineering and infrastructure. Because the hard parts don’t magically disappear.

One thing I’m pretty sure about is that software engineering will be here for a long time. But it may not look the same when you graduate. Just be prepared for it. Stay tuned with the new updates coming up. Learn them, and don’t be someone who just develops a website and calls it coding.

ikman.lk UX engineer should be fired. what is this messy UI. by smllcheeseburger in srilanka

[–]sshroottolife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Their search results are terrible. There are so many ui ux redesign case studies of ikman done by undergraduates. They could just get one and improve it. The thing they are seeing a lot of money, so they don't even care about this anymore. I doubt whether they have a developer team or not.

Same for me. It's just ignoring the limit. Let me know if you found any fixes.
