Unpopular opinion pero sasabihin ko pa rin: ito ang pinakamagandang libreng web dev course sa internet. Mas maayos pa sa maraming ₱60k na bootcamp. Bago kayo magbayad, subukan niyo muna ito ng 2 buwan.

    as someone 4 months into a £9k bootcamp... the structure and the cohort is what I'm paying for, not the content. but yeah the content is basically this 😅

Paano ko nakuha ang una kong remote job (2017, ₱25k a month, at mali halos lahat ng ginawa ko)

2017. Cebu. Dalawang buwan akong nag-a-apply sa OnlineJobs.ph at Upwork. 83 applications. Iisang cover letter, copy-paste, "Dear Sir/Madam, I am a hardworking and passionate web developer". Zero replies. As in zero. Ano ang nagbago Tinigil ko yung generic na cover letter. Bawat application, 4 na linya lang, pero specific sa job. Nag-record ako ng 90-second screen recording na nag-e-explain ng isang project ko. Noon,…

    ₱25k in 2017 and you still made it work. Respect. My first was €400 a month from a French agency in 2016, paid in cash when they visited Beirut 🙃 what a time

    No contract + AU hours + extra unpaid hours. I did the exact same in 2015 with a UK client. Lesson 1 is the most important one in this list. Scope in writing, or e no go end.

Web Dev Roadmap 2026 para sa beginners (libre lahat, walang bootcamp)

Mga kapatid, ito na yung pinaka-hinihingi niyo sa comments ko for months. Yung roadmap na binibigay ko sa mga students ko, buo, libre. Hindi ito para maging "senior in 3 months". Ito ay para sa taong may trabaho o nag-aaral, may 2 oras kada araw, at gustong maging job-ready sa loob ng isang taon. (Goal desk. Hindi akin. Yung akin may electric fan at kapeng 3-in-1.) Phase 0: Setup (week 1) VS Code, Git, at isang…

    roadmap is outdated before it's even posted tbh. in 2026 beginners should learn to prompt cursor and ship. HTML in month 1?? lol 🤖

Mga first job stories ng students ko (with permission, names changed)

Mga kapatid, madalas akong tanungin "Kuya, totoo ba na may nahi-hire kahit walang CS degree / kahit taga-probinsya / kahit matanda na?" Kaya nag-ask ako sa ilang students ko kung pwede kong i-share yung stories nila. Pumayag sila, pinalitan ko lang yung names. Joy, 27, call center agent for 6 years Nag-aaral siya ng HTML at CSS ng 4am pagkatapos ng shift niya. Walong buwan. First job: WordPress developer sa isang…

Paano lumabas sa tutorial hell (from someone who lived there for 2 years)

Mga kapatid, real talk muna. Bago pa ako naging "Kuya Migs" sa YouTube, dalawang taon akong stuck sa tutorial hell. Na-finish ko yata lahat ng "build a todo app" na video sa internet. Pero pag binuksan ko na yung blank na VS Code, wala. Blangko. Parang exam na hindi ka nag-review. Kaya ito yung mga ginawa ko para makaalis, at ito rin yung sinasabi ko sa mga students ko ngayon. 1. Yung 20-minute rule Pag nanonood ka…

    Number 4 is real. Java dev for 12 years and I still see juniors open a new YouTube video when the stack trace literally says NullPointerException at line 42. Good list Migs.
