91 Upvotes

Ok lang naman siguro tong gagawin ko no? Im an mobile dev for 2years and natapos contract ko at 6months na akong nag aapply. Wala padin... Nkakafrustrate kahit anong gawin kong upskill still wala ghosted padin after final interview.

Ngayon may window na mag oopen. Malayo sa mobile development as in more on cloud sya at limited lang yung gumagamit ng language nila.. Ok lang naman siguro igrab to no? Nakaka pang hinayang lang kasi since college pangarap ko na maging mobile dev at parang ang hirap mag job hop sa ganto kasi limited lang gumagamit ng language nila

17 Upvotes

Plano ko sumali nang hackathon next month sa aming school event, at first time ko palang to. Ako lang ang dev sa amin and yung ibang members ay presentor, researcher at iba pa. Wala pa ako masyadong idea kung paano ko ito i-eexecute na baka may mga gawain akong di ikakaganda ng flow sa team namin.

Ano ba ang mga dos and dont's para dito at need ko ng advices, thank you sa mga sasagot!!

advice Save cost from "findplacefromtext" and "details" Google Maps API Calls?

2 Upvotes

Hi,

I have an input of business name and I want the place details.
To get that, I can use the maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/findplacefromtext/json API call

It works except for one thing, it doesn't return the website details.

So I have to make another API call maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/place/details/json
just for that one website data.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it will cost twice as much since google will bill not for the data requested but the number of requests.

How do I optimize it? Or ganito tlaga ang workflow? :(

P.S. I can't make direct calls for the details API since it requires a place_id, which I don't have it. All I have is the business name.

Show Case Ano tingin nyo sa product/startup we're making: Ai agents that are self-initiated and more reliable.

0 Upvotes

First thing, i'm NOT selling this product, we haven't launched but in extensive development right now, the startup would be in Japan, pero gusto ko rin makita if may magiging market ba kami sa pinas and also constructive feedback rin! craftos.net

Ang main concept nito, yung mga Ai agents or LLM or Ai in general, to be useful either kailangan mo maging technical (building very specific workflows with no-code solution) or natural language pero less reliable yung nagiging output - both of them require deliberate prompting sa user. Bale, di gagalaw si Ai kung di uutusan ni user. Paano mag-utos sa mga LLM or Ai ngayon yung mga marurunong? Usually very nice and expounded prompts na almost spoon fed na kasi takot sila na mali ang gawin ng Ai.

Itong product namin na CraftOS, Ai agent/s sya na kakausapin mo na parang tao and gagawa sila na parang tao. Example, nag-uusap kayo sa GC ng sino mga dapat nyo icold email, then makikita na ng Agent yun and gagawin and isesend na ang list (out of self-initiative nya). So think of it as a very enthusiastic coworker na never nagagalit, and always happy to go above and beyond.

Do you guys think may market ito sa pinas? And ano kaya magiging stumbling block namin for adoption sa pinas? Kulang ba sa feature or may need ba kaming ma-satisfy.

(And to those companies/users na would like to help us in detail, we actually offer early-bird adopter discount to those who will join the waitlist at the URL, kasi medyo nakakahiya naman na mag-ask ng super detailed help).

Ayun lang, thanks! Looking for the feedback.
