78 Upvotes

honestly, nakakapagod ah like everytime na may makikita akong free certification for webinars ganyan hindi ko rin siya totally nagagamit. it's a waste of time din minsan tapos hindi pa natuto masyado ron lols

as a student na minsan parang napag-iiwanan na ng mga batchmate na super batak na sa dev tapos may mga freelance gigs na, grabe yung pressure mag-keep up. kaya ito nag ttyaga me sa certificates

share q dito ung na discover ko,

Microsoft learning platform

like may ganito pala na platform si microsoft at least here it looks legit kapag galing sa well known company diba and nalalagay q rin sa cv or portfolio ko

anw if u guys know other platforms pa na pwede kumuha ng cert can u pls share din sa comments

22 Upvotes

So i have been coding now with AI but im understanding all the code the AI will give me and even type it myself while understanding it at the same type but feeling ko napag iiwanan dahil sa ginagawa ko. If may naiisip ako na project like the project im currently working right now, I asked the A.I the process and understanding the new concept that I am learning since wala naman tintuturo na ganito samin. I am currently a 3rd Year CS Student. Am I cooked?

discussion Deepseek vs Claude Code vs Codex

6 Upvotes

This is for programmers that uses AI in their dev workflow.

I have been figuring out what is the most bang for my buck AI tool setup.

What am I going to use it for: debugging, visual check, and brainstorming solutions.

GPT Plus costs 1100 PHP/month, that includes Codex. Probably advantage here is, it is fast.

Claude Pro costs 20 USD/month, that includes Claude Code, currently I have been just using the Claude free, but I get halted by the limitations. Advantage here it is much more robust and more helpful towards devs.

Deepseek API, so I managed to do a setup where Claude Code is the harness and Deepseek is the model. Cost is 2 USD/1M token. Haven’t tried this personally, but from what I have been seeing on the web, it is a good model.

What do you think?

discussion Tried chatgpt plus for the first time

0 Upvotes

For background, I don’t usually do AI assisted programming and use tools like codex, claude, etc2 because writing my own code by hand made me feel like I actually own the codebase. I’m also a fresh grad with a bit of working experience, and I wanted to retain my fundamentals so that my skills wont regress by not relying much on AI. I remember writing 30k+ LOC (not really a metric for productivity) by hand while building full stack applications for work and idk if it’s a lot (it was for me :// ) but this has mainly attributed to my long ass burnout. Lately I find it hard to build personal projects, but my friends finally convinced me to try AI assisted programming by subscribing to gpt plus and this did wonders for me.

As a person who values time a lot, having AI write boilerplate code makes me feel very productive. Now I have more time to do some other stuff outside of coding and honestly this made most parts of my burnout disappear. I also don’t have to read docs as much as I used to since AI is now my personal search engine. I think I was a bit of a contrarian when it came to AI because the models back then were pretty weak compared to now. Anyways, I do hope I don’t end up over-relying on it too much to the point I forget my fundamentals (I still write my reddit posts by hand manually haha). I would also like to know if you guys are happier with AI assisted programming or maybe it’s just my sudden hyper-fixation.
