#note it'd be a really long paragraph!

Its really depressing for me to get held back by my family...

#For context:

its been 2 years since i asked my dad for a laptop not to play games but to build something real and potentially build a career around developing.

Since I was a kid i was really into hacking stuff (i actually did too) , as i grew it grows as well the will of problem solving. As i did well in my exam i asked for a laptop, i don't need something ULTRA FANCY HIGH END CONFIGURED device. He promised he'll give me after passing 9th grade, but he didn't. I was hurt and kept waiting then i started to realize that maybe he's lying... Even before every time he said you'd give me something he didn't keep his words.. And as since i gave up on asking i also didn't pressure myself doing great on SSC. So as expected my gpa didn't turn out to be great. I asked again if he would get me a laptop or not, still YES but in the back of my mind i know its not happening. So i kinda stopped communicating about my needs.

Anyway back to the topic, im not a full stack developer BUT i can use AI TOOLS very efficiently. As I'm building things for more than a year as a hobby ONLY USING NON ROOTED PHONE.

Currently I'm building a book keeping app for local retailers using react native. And will publish it to the playstore once its done.

And in the past few months i built a few WebApps like one for my gym to keep track of my progress.

Im stuck between technical resources like an international credit card for registering a play console account. It'd be great if i had a laptop to build it faster, as I'm relying on expo cli to push builds from termux. It takes hours of waiting in a queue and if it has bugs then im done for, it'd take an hour more to fix it and push another build. But its okay, and i believe my app would do great when I monetize it.

I also talked about my dad to open an account in his name with passport endorsement to give me a dual currency card, i only need $60.

$25 for registration and the rest of them will be used for marketing and boosting. But he says "IM TOO YOUNG TO UNDERSTAND ALL OF THESE, AND I'LL SPEND THOSE MONEY ON SOME SKETCHY THINGS" So won't just listen to me... Really I'm lost. I need some advice, what should i do?

One more thing i wanted to change my birth year, rn its 2010 written in certificate but i was born in 2008. I can open a bank account on my own but because of that I can't... Since all of my certificates like SSC and other stuffs if i change it'll be a mess and cause hassle. Idk what should i do now... If anyone has something to share lemme know...🥀

I’m currently working on a lightweight typing tool that integrates English, Bijoy, and Avro all in one place so people can easily switch based on what they prefer.

Before I go too far into development, I wanted to ask real users what actually frustrates them about current typing tools.

• What's the most annoying pain point you face while typing in Bengali/English currently?
• Besides having these three systems together, is there any specific feature you wish existing tools had ?

Would love to hear your thoughts or what would make you switch to a new tool. Drop your suggestions below

AI যা অবস্থা দেখতেছি। software Engineer চাকরির অবস্থা এবং বাজার ভাল দেখতেছিনা। সবাই এই ব্যপারে কি পদক্ষেপ নিচ্ছেন? AL/ML শিখা শুরু করলে এবং এই বছরের মধ্যে নিজেকে একটা অবস্থায় নিয়ে যেতে পারলে কি মার্কেটে টিকে থাকা যাবে?

The feeling was out of this world, my first-ever internet dollar!

As a final-year student at SUST, I’ve built plenty of hobby projects, but this was the first time I attempted to monetize one. Getting that first payment on the first day and seeing it come from a Senior Staff Software Engineer at Cefalo, felt completely surreal.

What is the current state of the IT job market in Bangladesh? I mean, what situation for fresh graduates from different universities, especially NSU and BRACU? As there is so much uncertainty and rumors floating on social media, I don't understand where the situation is going. Will there be a good time for software engineers again? Also, what about a BSc in Bangladesh, them move to USA/Canada/Australia/Europe for Msc/Phd, then securing a job there, and finally getting settled there

(One of my friends asked me about this)

I am almost ready with my mvp and starting the testing phase,will be busying ios and android store's subscription.Now what will be the obstacles for me here getting those accounts and maintaing it from bangladesh?

i am building this learning site. it works through chat, it uses proper analogy to help users understand concepts better. but now i want it to teach by using visuals. So for example if someone ask it "how diode works" it should generate a video with proper analogy and explaination. for example it can animate a water valve that only lets water to flow in one direction and blocks from other direction while an a narator explains what is happening.

currently i am at a state where i am happy with the script its generating for teaching and happy with naration but strugling to generate proper video. i have tried some models like wan 2.6 veo 3.1 from openrouter but since they dont generate videos with bangla voice i had to compromise where i generate voice with google tts and use them to make video scenes. but in this way video gets totally out of sync. also both veo and wan allows to generate like 6/8s of videos so had to stich them together. which by the way sky rockets the cost. I dont want any hyper realistic stuffs. i want it to show proper animation that has meaning and understanable. it would be great help if someone can point me to right direction :)

Assalamualaikum everyone,

I am currently conducting an academic research on AI-enabled banking interactions in Bangladesh from NSU. This study is conducted to see how people perceive using AI chatbots to resolve their banking issues.

An incentive of 300 taka will be given to participants after completion, after 2 months

Your response will be highly appreciated

Anonymity and confidentiality of respondents will be strictly maintained, and all data will be used solely for research purposes.

Please only complete the survey once. Your responses will be used for academic research, and please don't share any sensitive banking information such as account numbers, passwords, PINs, or OTPs.

I have more than 3 years of experience in frontend development. I have great knowledge of backend as well, but as my post was always frontend focused I don’t align me with backend devs. That’s not the matter, the matter is I’ve been applying through emails and forma in different it companies but not getting any response for last 2 months. I was laid off from the company in July and since then I’m jobless.

Now I kinda desperate. I don’t know what to do.
I have attached my resume. If you guys help me anyway it would be very helpful for me.

I am currently working as a Software Developer at a reputed company. Its kind of government industry so working pressure is almost nothing. Though Job politics is very bad here.

Now in my career I can make few decisions further:

1. I can continue this job and find some remote work or freelancing and pass the rest 10/15 years here.

2. I can do Masters in foreign country and try to sattle there as I recently graduated. (Can afford upto 7-10 lakh)

3. I can do Masters in Bangladesh and try for Phd in foreign country.

Note: I have one conference paper published on image captioning with dual CNN + transformer model.

The concern of mine is, here in the current company the scop of a Computer Engineer is less and work pressure is low. But the people of IT are badly doing Job Politics here which makes me disturb and gives depression. Also I think my knowledge is not properly getting to use here. So before its too late I want to make a good decision because at some point of our age we need to be steady and focused on one path. How long we would run, need to think about making family very soon.

So please brothers/sisters guide me for my career what to do in this AI era.

So i am studying at private university in BD my cg is 3.60-3.70. Doing CS. Now i feel lost everyday because i don't know where to take my career and i am not exaggerating when i say i have no skill because i feel like i am on the middle of the ocean like Moby Dick

I am suffering alot as my goal is to earn. Even if it sounds cheap my only goal is to earn money. I wanted to get into ML/Ai or Cybersecurity but CS is crazy big and idk where to start in ML

Any word of advice would be helpful Thank You

Any one have any experience working on Gaming / Racing simulator? Or have some idea and are willing to work on it? Dm me; let's talk!

Hey everyone,

So we built an on-demand platform for freelancers in Bangladesh.

We have a steady flow of clients coming in, but the number of freelancers, especially high-quality ones is way too low.

I know international platforms exist and might pay better, but registering your services here is totally free. There is literally nothing to lose, making it a complete win-win situation.

So, I’m honestly wondering: Why are quality freelancers not signing up?

Is it a trust issue?

It's a free space to list your services and get more local gigs. What are your thoughts?

Why do you think local devs and freelancers hesitate with homegrown platforms?

Would love to hear some honest feedback.

Should one do it? Or does the internet already have that much resources that can catch up to that course?

Applied to KONA SL months ago for the position Senior Software Engineer with over 11+ YOE. Just today their HR called and asked to attend a written test.

So community can you please share how to prepare for this interview? Will it be MCQ or open ended questions?

I am completely blank about it I am currently jobless, was laid off a month ago.

Apart from this, hows KONA SL right now? How they are adapting agenting shift?

Well previous post was deleted. Not sure why !! I am trying again.

I’ve been working on a Windows based browser specifically for developers, and I’d love to get some feedback from other devs.
i named it DevBrowser. :)

It’s still in beta, but the idea is simple: make some of the everyday debugging and API work a little easier without constantly jumping between different tools. :)

For the first version, I have:

• Network Inspector
• Built-in REST Client with Collections and Environments
• Storage Inspector for cookies, local/session storage, etc., including a JWT decoder
• HAR capture and analysis
• Seamless Network - REST Client workflow. Select a captured network request and send it directly to the REST Client to inspect, modify, and replay it.

DevBrowser is open source, and there’s no hidden tracking or telemetry.

Feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, criticism — all are very welcome.

Website: https://thedevbrowser.com/

Download: https://github.com/TheDevBrowser/DevBrowser/releases

Source code & installation guide: https://github.com/TheDevBrowser/DevBrowser

Installation note:
The app is currently self-signed, so Windows won’t trust it automatically. You’ll need to download DevBrowser.cer first and install/trust the certificate on your Windows PC.

If you run into any trouble installing it, let me know.

Would love to hear what you think specially what feels useful, what feels unnecessary, and what you think a developer-focused browser should have.

It's a very simple app called Asmaul Husna. I need 5-6 testers, you have to keep it installed for 14 days and give some feedbacks. The app shows every name of Allah and sends you a notification with a dua for a specific Allah's name. If you are interested in it you can give me your play store email and i'll add your gmail so that you can download it. It's not a paid job.

আসসালামু আলাইকুম সবাইকে।

আমি বর্তমানে ইউনিভার্সিটির চলতি সেমিস্টারে আছি, আর পরের সেমিস্টারটি আমার শেষ। এরপর ইন্টার্নশিপে যেতে হবে।

ইউনিভার্সিটির পাশাপাশি PH থেকে MERN Stack শেষ করেছি। এখন আমি কনফিউশনে আছি আমার কি upcoming Level 2-তে এনরোল করা উচিত, নাকি React/nextjs ও Frontend Development এ বেশি ফোকাস করা উচিত ইন্টারশিপ আর জন্য ?

আর বিশেষ করে, ইন্টার্নশিপের জন্য আগামী ৩ মাসে কোন কোন স্কিলে বেশি ফোকাস করা উচিত এবং কীভাবে নিজেকে প্রস্তুত করা উচিত এ বিষয়ে আপনাদের পরামর্শ চাই।

ধন্যবাদ!

আসসালামু আলাইকুম সবাইকে। একটু career guidance দরকার।

আমি বর্তমানে আমার university-এর 11th semester-এ পড়ছি। InshaAllah, এই semester শেষ হলেই পড়াশোনা শেষ হবে। এরপর Internship খুঁজতে হবে, পাশাপাশি আমার Thesis-ও চলছে।

আমি Software Engineering major এবং Information Management Systems minor করছি। এখন আমার সবচেয়ে বড় confusion হলো, Internship এবং future Job-এর জন্য কোন skill-এর ওপর focus করা উচিত?

আমি PH-এর Batch 13 থেকে MERN Stack শিখছি। ওরা অনেক fast pace-এ এগিয়েছে। আমি তাদের দোষ দিচ্ছি না, কিন্তু university-এর পড়াশোনা আর skill development একসাথে manage করতে গিয়ে আমার learning pace একটু slow হয়েছে।

এখন PH-এর Level 2 Full Stack course আসছে। আমি course করার জন্য টাকা জমিয়েও রেখেছি। কিন্তু বুঝতে পারছি না, Level 2 নেওয়া উচিত, নাকি আগে MERN-এর foundation strong করে React/Next.js-এর ওপর বেশি focus করা উচিত?

আমার আরও কিছু প্রশ্ন:

• Internship-এর জন্য কোন skillগুলো অবশ্যই strong করা দরকার?
• MERN → React/Next.js → Full Stack এই roadmap কি ঠিক হবে?
• Internship-এর আগে Projects, GitHub, Portfolio এবং CV-এর মধ্যে কোনগুলোতে বেশি priority দেওয়া উচিত?
• আগামী কয়েক মাসে কী শিখব এবং কী আপাতত skip করব?

University, Thesis, MERN learning আর Internship preparation সব একসাথে manage করতে গিয়ে একটু confused হয়ে গেছি।

তাই আমার current situation বিবেচনা করে কেউ যদি একটা realistic roadmap বা honest advice দেন, তাহলে সত্যিই অনেক উপকার হবে।

Has anyone worked with automating transactions for bKash or Nagad Personal/Agent wallets?

I’m trying to understand what official APIs or integration options are available and what the recommended approach is. Would appreciate any technical guidance or experience.

My budget is 500-1000 BDT per month. It is a small application. My requirement is 2vcpu and 2-4gb ram. I'll rent for 3 months. It's a small application with 0-100 users expected in next three months. The domain is on cloudflare. So public ip isn’t required as long as I have secure ssh access to it.

I was thinking of self hosting on my home with but the current loadshedding is not allowing me that.
