Congrats to @Basil Gubara who landed a new developer role within a month of joining our program and even negotiated a +20% salary increase on top of what was set as the maximum offer. Watch this to break your limiting beliefs about the whole “market is oversaturated” nonsense and get inspired by what’s possible when you’re truly committed. Because developers who are committed to mastery are always in demand, no matter how bad the market is or how far AI advances.

Hi Hayk, I am in process of making changes to About page and as suggested in the past, I am making a PR to get support on a query regarding use of IonAlert vs IonModal for Grid view. Could you please review PR - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/money-manager-app/pull/18 P.S. This is my first PR, please let me know where I need to improve in PR process as well. Many thanks!

As part of our current sprint, I've integrated Jira with GitHub, which means Jira issues are now automatically linked with GitHub pull requests. Also created pull request templates that will be used to maintain high PR quality in our repositories. I explain more about each task in the videos below. Here are my PRs for review. Let me know if you have any comments/suggestions: - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/money-manager-app/pull/9 - https://github.com/DeveloperMastery/money-manager-api/pull/4 Let's also use this as a mid-sprint check in to see where we are and if you guys have any blockers with your tasks 👇

Lately I’ve been testing different AI models for coding help, especially in AI-powered editors. I tried Claude 4 and Gemini 2.5 Pro which are considered as “advanced” models, but honestly they kept messing up even simple tasks. The generated code had many bugs, linter and tests failed, and many instructions were ignored. Today I switched back to Claude 3.5 (which I used a month ago), and suddenly everything works again. Same prompts and tasks, but much better results. So here’s my takeaway so far: - Use Claude 4 or Gemini for deeper discussions, brainstorming, or architectural decisions. - But for coding and implementation, Claude 3.5 is still the best in my experience. - Deepseek is a decent second choice for actual coding tasks. Curious if anyone else is seeing similar results with these models? Let me know what combo you’re using 👇
