The Tech Roundup PH Mar 24, 2025 DONATE Digest 25-08 Hello Reader, Months ago, I was tempted to join the casting call by RecCreate for career shifters. They're doing it again on March 28. I really want to go but it's a Friday, so it might mean I need to go on leave, which isn't possible at the moment. If you're a career shifter and you're free on Friday, I encourage you to join. People need to know that shifting careers is okay, and should be normalized. Are you a fan of Severance? If you...

One may think that I'm anti-academe. On the contrary, I'm anti-not evolving. I'm...

The Tech Roundup PH Mar 3, 2025 DONATE Digest 25-05 Hello Reader, By the time you receive this, my wife and I have already come back from a much needed R&R. But despite being on vacation--and as if I wasn't busy enough as it is--I still opted to apply for QCSP's 14-week learning program on quantum computing and got accepted. So yeah, I had to take the first session from our hotel room balcony. 😠I've always been curious about quantum computing, but I also wanted to go beyond the hype. So this...

The Tech Roundup PH Follow Kuya Dev Feb 3, 2025 DONATE Digest 25-01 Hello Reader, I'm relaunching my newsletter! For the longest time, the newsletter served no other purpose than as an announcement platform for the Kuya Dev Podcast and the occasional technical blog post. But I realize now that this is a severely untapped platform, one I can use to centralize all the content that I've been putting out. It also has the potential to provide so much value to you, my dear subscribers! And while...
