Discussion I never thought I would post something like this but, Jobs are in fact about to change a lot and the market might get even more cooked for people starting in IT. Astra isn't only hype.

Upvotes

Tldr : read the last part only at least

Read the full thing guys I think what I am saying is worth reading,

I got to use Astra yesterday, and it Is finally an ai that can deliver end to end. I had a job that I thought my teammate would need at least a whole day to do Astra did it all using mcp and CLI tools in a few prompts. A single prompt with a goal and it can execute not only the 80% easy part that most llms used to but rest of the 20% that took a lot of time as well , provided the user has a goal in mind. ( Even thinking can be outsourced atp tho lol).

No the output doesn't look like AI slop so even the talk of human touch will be just cope. And if you wanna say ai still needs someone to steer it and debug things, I doubt cause most of us surely ain't smart as these frontier models. Only a goal and it will debug itself. (There might be some people whose human touch and knowledge valuable enough) But for the most part ai has become good enough.

Countries like Nepal , India etc that are seen as cheap labour might face the worst consequences.

I highly suggest people don't fixate on IT only. instead of seeking for jobs and stuff, using your tech skill on a different domain might be extremely powerful. If you can somehow manage , get the chatgpt 200$ sub and see for yourself what I talk about.

Discussion How much should I charge to build a simple ecommerce store

Upvotes

The requirements i am being asked for are:

  • Fonepay dynamic QR integration
  • Order tracking (payment status + order status)
  • Cart + multi-step checkout
  • Product variants (color + size, per-SKU stock/price)
  • Category collections (Women's, Men's, Accessories, Bags, Backpacks)
  • New arrivals section
  • Product filters (price, stock, variant, size)

How much should I charge and what should I build this one on? They can renew hosting charges themselves. The client is non-technical.

My experience is in JS, so I can use it or explore other easier options and I will be fully leveraging AI. The client doesn't want to go over 1 lakhs is what I assume based on conversation we had till now. What range do I give them?

Job Vacancy Is it normal for companies in Nepal to hold your citizenship?

Upvotes

I honestly don’t know what to do anymore.
I’ve been searching for a QA Intern / Junior / Associate-level job for around 6 months. I’ve completed my Bachelor’s in IT, done a frontend internship, completed QA internship/training, and have been continuously applying and trying to improve my skills. But getting even an entry-level QA opportunity has been extremely difficult.
Because I couldn’t find a QA/associate role, I recently started applying for other IT-related jobs just to get some work experience and income.
I found a company called Hirex Nepal around Kalanki through a random job ad. I went there thinking maybe I could get some kind of entry-level opportunity. After looking at my CV, they almost confirmed me for a Computer Operatorposition.
The salary is around 20k, but they said they will hold 5k from my salary every month for at least 6 months. So effectively, I’d receive around 15k initially.
The thing that really surprised me was that they also asked me to submit my original Nagarikta (citizenship) so that they could hold it.
I genuinely don’t understand can a private company legally keep an employee’s original citizenship document?
I’m already in a situation where I’m considering jobs outside my actual career path because I’m unable to find an entry-level QA role. But asking to keep my citizenship feels like a huge red flag.
Has anyone here experienced something similar in Nepal? Is this normal practice for companies, or should I stay away from such companies?
Would really appreciate advice from people who have worked in HR/recruitment or faced similar situations.
At this point I’m honestly confused about what to do. :(

Hey everyone,

I'm a B.Sc. CSIT student currently learning C# and ASP.NET Core, and I've decided that I want to focus seriously on .NET backend development rather than jumping between different stacks .tried every sht possible but now wants to row a single boat

I've already started working with things like:

  • OOP
  • ASP.NET Core Web API
  • REST APIs
  • Entity Framework Core
  • SQL Server
  • Dependency Injection
  • JWT Authentication/Authorization
  • LINQ
  • Git/GitHub

I'd really appreciate advice from people who are currently working with .NET in Nepal, especially those who have gone through the internship/junior hiring process.

A few things I'd like to know:

  1. What should I learn to become internship/junior-ready?

2.If you were starting again today, what would your learning roadmap look like?

3.What does the .NET job market in Nepal actually look like? ,is it grwoing or gonna end near soon

  1. How much frontend knowledge is expected? like should i try blazor or get hand on react angular
  2. Which companies in Nepal hire .NET developers? genuienly i want to know about this if there is any
  3. How long does it realistically take? like how much time does it take to be junior backend dev
  4. What projects actually matter? the most imp what are the projects that i should focus on
  5. What do interviews actually test? like what do they seek frontend and backedn or only backend
  6. Finally ,what mistakes should I avoid?

Miscellaneous How to find registered owner/last registered device of NCELL number online?

Upvotes

Hi everyone!
A number, registered with NCELL is being used for hate-speech multiple times. I cannot explain the body publicly.

But the sim-owner tends to recharge & do that & repeat it again.

Had similar issue with NTC a while back, but we were able to track & locate the person. Thanks to someone we know employed there.

When asked NCELL, they wanted police's report & all. So, I wanted to know if there is any way just to know who the person is & from where he/she is being operated vanera.

"Gaali" dirakheko chha. Call garda incoming call is restricted vanxa, not switched off. Recharge gardei, manxe lai hate speech dirako chha. K chai garne hola?

Upvotes

I am currently thinking of buying Lenovo LOQ with Ryzen 5 processor and rtx 4050, but all I can find is the Lenovo LOQ 15ARP9 which contains Ryzen 5 7235 HS with no dedicated igpu which is generally worse for battery life.

I am trying to find 15AHP9 (Ryzen 8000 series) or 15APH8 (Ryzen 7000 Zen 4 series) for a reasonable price if anybody knows a store that sells this specific variant.
