I turned copilot off and coded on my own this past week and the experience was worth it. To be honest, in any serious project coding with AI agents takes the fun away and leaves me only with the frustration of dealing with bugs afterwards. Manually writing code has given me a bit of a sense of accomplishment for thinking through everything myself and implementing features in a clean and maintainable way. It was really fun thinking every detail of my implementation. I was left with less bugs as a result of my careful planning and attention to detail. I now actually think it is much faster to manually write code and utilize AI to remind me of forgotten concepts, refer me to documentation sections and help me debug a particular piece of code for hard to identify bugs. Coding is fun this way.

Go is such a wonderful programming language. Everything is fast and easy with Go. It is weird when you see it for the first time since OOP and error handling are nothing like you've seen in other languages. I like the Go way better though. It is my favorite programming language so far

🚀 Become an Agentic AI Builder — Free 12‑Week Certification by Ready Tensor

Ready Tensor’s Agentic AI Developer Certification is a free, project first 12‑week program designed to help you build and deploy real-world agentic AI systems. You'll complete three portfolio-ready projects using tools like LangChain, LangGraph, and vector databases, while deploying production-ready agents with FastAPI or Streamlit.

The course focuses on developing autonomous AI agents that can plan, reason, use memory, and act safely in complex environments. Certification is earned not by watching lectures, but by building — each project is reviewed against rigorous standards.

You can start anytime, and new cohorts begin monthly. Ideal for developers and engineers ready to go beyond chat prompts and start building true agentic systems.

I was planning to hunt some international jobs, any tips

Ans:
Many of the questions I receive are related to hunting international jobs, so I’ll answer them all at once instead of repeating myself.

When I started looking for international opportunities, especially after COVID, I was fortunate..luck did play a role in my journey. I had strong skills, but timing and chance also mattered.

Today, the job market is harder. There are fewer jobs and more competition. My advice is:
=> Be patient. Finding the right opportunity takes time.
=> Work on your communication. Being clear and professional helps a lot.
=> Build an online presence. A LinkedIn profile or GitHub with real work helps.
=> Have a portfolio of projects. Show what you can do.
=> Trust the process. Keep learning and stay consistent.

Patience and effort will take you further than luck alone.

I saw this guy's channel being shared across multiple tech-related channels, and I checked out the latest posts he posted about Go. He shares solid resources for Backend and Systems programming in Go, Rust, and C. So if you are interested, go check him out

My channel is dominated by backend devs who find frontend more challenging while codenight is the opposite

I personally think that Backend development is much more challenging if you work on complex projects that need to support millions or billions of users, implement database sharding, implement complex algorithms and work on a system with a vast number of components in production. I think both of them have complexities to tackle, and I find the backend more satisfying to work on.

I think the main thing that makes front-end development hard to navigate is the constant introduction of new tools and frameworks that promise to be better than the other, and keeping up is a non-negotiable if you specialize in front-end. Of course, backend also has its fair share of those, but I don't think it is evolving as quickly as frontend. And also, I think frontend development is more challenging than backend development when working with CRUD apps that have all the common features we usually implement.

Today, I received an email informing me that I was shortlisted for an interview with a company in Latvia, to which I applied through LinkedIn. I was excited for a bit, and I searched the company on LinkedIn. To my disappointment, there were multiple people who posted that they worked 6 months for free without receiving a single payment from the company. They just go around "hiring" people and making them work 40 hours a week with a promise of pay that would never arrive. Make sure to research the client/company that you want to work with. At least make sure there isn't any negative review of them like this.

This is actually a really great guide. I'm glad I found it. Shoutout to @genenetise01
