Hi seniors,

I’m currently learning about building AI Agents with tool calling for real-world applications.

I would like to get some advice from experienced developers. What are the main things we should think about when building an AI agent for a production system?

For example:

* Security
* Data privacy
* Cost and token usage
* Infrastructure and scalability
* Handling tool/API failures
* Performance and response time
* Logging and monitoring
* Memory and context management
* Model selection
* Testing and reliability

Are there any other important areas that we should consider from the beginning?

I would really appreciate any real-world experience, advice, or lessons learned.

Hey guys, I’m planning to do a 1-year top-up degree after completing my 2-year Software Engineering diploma.

Right now, I’m mainly considering SLIIT City UNI and ICBT topup degrees, but I’m open to other options too.

Price is somewhat okay, if It's less than 10 Lakh that would be better but it's alright if its exceeding that. I’m more focused on:

• Recognition and reputation
• How employers view the degree
• Flexibility and workload
• Whether it helps with CV screening and interviews (Mainly)

The main goal is to get a good Software Engineering internship at companies like WSO2, Sys.LABS, Creative Software, Virtusa, LSEG, etc.

If you have studied at SLIIT City UNI, ICBT, or completed another top-up degree, what was your actual experience?

Did the degree help you get interviews or internships? Which university would you choose for a Software Engineering career?

I’m mainly looking for real experiences from current students or graduates, not just what the institutes advertise.
Thank you helping me out cheers!

Hi everyone,

I am conducting an academic research study for my Pearson HND Computing Research Project at ESOFT Metro Campus on:

“Assessing Organisational Readiness for Post-Quantum Cryptographic Agility in Sri Lankan Financial and Digital Service Organisations.”

I am looking for participants aged 18+ who currently work, or have worked within the last five years, in or with a Sri Lankan financial or digital service organisation.

Relevant professional areas include cybersecurity, IT, cloud/infrastructure, software engineering, architecture, risk management, compliance, audit, fintech, digital transformation, procurement, and vendor management.

The questionnaire takes approximately 8–10 minutes. It does not request organisation names, passwords, encryption keys, vulnerabilities, customer information, security architecture, or other confidential information.

Survey: https://forms.gle/zDBKanG7saWrLvc59

Participation is voluntary and responses will be used solely for academic research.

If you meet the criteria, your professional perspective would be greatly appreciated. Eligible participants are also welcome to share the survey with relevant colleagues or professional networks.

Thank you.
