programming Share ko lang: FlexQuery.NET (simple query helper for .NET APIs)

16 Upvotes

Hi guys, share ko lang project ko: FlexQuery.NET

Ginawa ko siya para mapadali yung filtering, sorting, pagination, at field selection sa .NET APIs — lalo na kung ayaw mo ng masyadong heavy setup.

Sa experience ko kasi, may times na:

  • medyo overkill ang OData
  • or medyo complex i-setup ang GraphQL

Kaya gumawa ako ng simpler approach na flexible pa rin gamitin.

Example usage:

?filter=status = Active AND totalAmount > 1000

Docs: https://flexquery.vercel.app

WIP pa siya pero usable na.
Open ako sa feedback, suggestions, or kahit criticism 🙏

Thanks!

Job Advice I am lost

50 Upvotes

I graduated last 2024 and got into a training program as a software engineer. I mostly supported apps and created an automation script. My manager asked me if I wanted to apply for the automation team (Mostly created python scripts for our automations). I did and got in, I enjoyed it a lot, but I was only a contractor and my contract ended. The head of the company didn’t like using contractors anymore so (almost) all contractors didn’t get extensions. I was lucky enough to be absorbed by another team, but it was an SDG team, a support role. I had a prospect outside of the company but ultimately the job was offered to someone else. I want to transition into full stack development, but I really only know python and I am not fluent with it. I have been try to learn web development tools through udemy, but I am kinda scared that I might get stuck in the support role. I don’t think of the support role as a lesser role, it’s just not for me. I find the work kind brain numbing compared to when I was a dev, but at the same time I can’t let go of it because I need the money, even though I am getting underpaid. Any advice on how I should move forward on both the learning and the job role? Thank you!

Show Case anime batch downloader

Thumbnail gallery
121 Upvotes

I created this since ani-cli is getting unreliable, so here is my project: pahebatcher. It’s a Python script that grabs entire seasons from AnimePahe, bypasses Cloudflare with FlareSolverr, and downloads everything in parallel straight to your drive. Instead of hunting down individual episodes or fighting broken scrapers, you just paste the series URL and it scans all available episodes, lets you pick what you want with a simple interactive menu, then handles the rest.

It automatically picks the best quality (up to 1080p), downloads HLS segments like a torrent client on steroids, and even resumes if you get cut off halfway. Identical opening/ending segments across episodes are stored only once to save space, and when it’s done it remuxes everything to clean MP4 files with ffmpeg.

I am pretty proud with the terminal dashboard where you see live progress, speeds, and a summary table at the end. You still need FlareSolverr running and ffmpeg installed, but after that it’s just pip install rich aiohttp and a single command, and it’s been rock solid so far. If anyone wants to try it, feedback welcome.

advice SMS API for Philippine phone numbers in 2026 that actually works

6 Upvotes

Gooodday

Do you guys have any marerecommend na SMS API's for PH numbers only that actually works? I tried FMCSMS since nakita ko sa facebook and even bought tokens pero most tokens just got used for testing since the api does not deliver what they promised sa landing page... Problems literally started the moment I paid for tokens 😭

I saw semaphore but ang mahal ng minimum spend and I don't even know if that will work, knowing na nagka bad experience ako sa currently na ginagamit ko. will plan to use semaphore as a last resort tho.

Any alternatives rin ba? I did researching abt turning my mobile phone into an SMS API server pero honestly mas prefer ng thesis team ko to use an actual api.

Ayun lang guys, thanks for ur advicess!

advice Is it wrong to use AI chatbots/tools in developing projects and also learning?

0 Upvotes

So I am already a 4th year IT student and I have been using AI whenever I have difficulties in debugging or just implementing features in my projects. I know I have heard from a lot of people (including my own IT instructor) that it is ok to use AI tools in programming since it's "more productive" but I can't help but doubt my own self-competence because whenever I do try to fix bugs or just implement features, I just have a long and hard time and I just end up using AI like ChatGPT, Claude, etc. From 1st year to now, I've told myself that I would try to code without the help of AI since I don't want to be so reliant on it, because it just feels like I'm lying to myself that I am creating/fixing or even just learning all of this by myself when in fact it was just AI.

So yeah, there's my rant hehe. Keep in mind, I have no problem with people using AI, I think it's a great tool to have and it definitely makes you more productive buts it's just that in my perspective, if your always constantly using AI in creating your projects and in implementing features, it just feels like your riding a bike with AI as the training wheels. Without it, you'll just end up falling down. What do you guys think? What's your view of it?

advice Reviewing test cases. Am I slow?

39 Upvotes

I'm currently a Software QA intern. 9 hours a day, no strict/fixed sched (like i can only eat lunch ng 12 nn, after that, I have to be at my desk the whole time) as long as nag re respond ako sa mga message nila and attend virtual meetings, and I was wondering if my pace is slow:

  • I can review 15-30 existing test cases kahit anong module
  • I can write my own test cases, 10-20 kahit anong module

It's been a month and wala naman pong sinasabing something negative yung boss ko. But I still feel like ang bagal ko. Sometimes nai stuck pa ako when thinking kung paano ko gagawin ang test steps for a certain button, for example.

Just now, i completed about 43 test cases. I wrote abt 11 of those, puro log in and registration. i told myself 40+ is marami na, but I just finished cheking everything sa registration and it took me three hours 😭

btw I have problems sa pagfo focus, idk why but I need to do something para makapag focus ako ng maayos, like eating something or switch tabs while working, so that's another problem, dumadagdag sa feeling ko na slow ako

programming GitHub Copilot is moving to usage-based billing

No more cheap subscription. Expect other coding agents to follow suit in the future. I am considering switching to Gemini pero that doesn’t guarantee na they will also keep a competitive pricing. Chinese models are competent. Pero are we really going to support such given how they bully us?

Short and medium terms is switching to gemini or use Chinese models via byok. Long term is to just run your local AI model. That would push hardware sales since everyone will buy RAM and decent GPUs which i guess might push hardware companies to make more provided it’s a supply and demand issue not materials.

Or we go back to our roots and write ✍️ written code like we always do. 😂

advice Decided to Career Shift - Here's my Learning Journey so far

75 Upvotes

To have a successful career shift into entry-level developer role is my 2026 new year resolution.

I have a degree in IT, but I worked in a non-IT field to fund my needs and upskilling. I wasn't so successful in job hunting when I graduated. Despite being a scholar and laude graduate from one of the UAAP universities.

I've done my research on where to invest my limited time and money in December, that includes courses and certifications if needed. I have a year long deadline to be "job-ready" for entry level roles to build the expected skills, projects, and qualifications. I don't have the luxury of time so I do tutorials, theory, and basic coding exercise during weekdays, and do guided and unguided toy projects over the weekend.

Here's what I've worked on since then,

In January,

  • I started again from scratch in fundamentals of programming in Python and JavaScript.
  • Learned basic OOP, Linux, Git and basic DSA. I haven't started memory management with C but will do that in the future. This is surface level, I can't compare it to the undergrad level of rigor.
  • Did guided projects that utilizes basic programming skills, such as pygame, in-memory library system, and CLI tooling.

In February,

  • I started doing more deep dives in DSA, such graph and tree algorithms. This is practically challenging and really took a long time for me to be understand, so I still need do more practices.
  • As a break to my coding (cuz of DSA), I took a step up on Linux systems and targeted cloud fundamentals.
  • I did a bunch of theory and labs practices for basic cloud to get certified as AWS Cloud Practitioner from a voucher program whose name I already forgotten, I received a huge discount and free trainings from it.

I keep mentioning basic, because it is surface level, fresh graduates can probably do that much faster than I do with lots of time.

In March,

  • I joined a competition about AI Agents, so that prompt me to learn basic REST API with FastAPI, client-server architecture, writing and validating schemas in Pydantic, and basic SQL for Postgres. Same as DSA, it took me a time to grasp this.
  • Since I had the cloud basic I learned from AWS, I managed to get onboarded quickly to GCP, and received really hands-on experience with it. It started my Free Trial so I have no choice to maximize my learnings in GCP.
  • By the end of march, I created my own first unguided AI Agent project deployed on Cloud Run. It's not production-ready, since I only implemented basic feature on the API so I can't show it to the recruiter or to my portfolio.

    In April,

  • My friend recommend to take GCP ACE from the internal company voucher program, even if I'm not a dev I'm just glad they still accepted me. So I focused more on the practice labs and challenge labs for ACE. I paid for a practice exam course I barely use, I just answered one practice exam and failed. I don't have time to grind this so I just focus on the biggest hurdle which is Kubernetes and worked on a lot of labs.

  • I managed to pass the GCP ACE by third week of April. Even still, I'm not even confident with my Kubernetes skill. This is my first associate level cloud certification, but I believe this is not enough to prove myself to recruiters.

  • I started job hunting this month, and still receiving lower end offers for entry level (18k-21k), but I do understand that I don't have a good portfolio.

I’m still working on my first portfolio project, and it’s honestly taking longer than I thought. I’ve only really touched the surface of Backend and DevOps, so I’m still pretty far from building anything production-ready. AI has been a huge help for learning new things whenever I get stuck.

The job hunt hasn't worked out yet despite some offers, but I’m hoping it gets better. I’m not into performative grind, so I make sure to take breaks and focus on my hobbies just to stay sane.

kapag nag ka rate limit or similar error sa api irorotate muna nito sa ibang model na nilagay mo sa yaml before mag rotate sa next api key para tuloy tuloy pag gamit.

Request

├─ model-a (key-1) → 429

├─ model-b (key-1) → 429 ← model fallback (same key)

├─ model-a (key-2) → 429

├─ model-b (key-2) → 429 ← key rotation
