The Best Local Development Setups for Web and Mobile Apps

2026-06-14T10:22:16+00:00

Local development setups can affect how fast you build, test, and ship web and mobile apps. This guide is for students, developers, and everyone that wants to compare three practical cross-platform options. You will see how Next.js with Expo, Flutter with Android Studio, and Next.js with Capacitor perform in setup time, developer experience, storage use, and mobile RAM usage. Test app and scoring method To keep the comparison fair, I used the same simple project idea across all three setups: a strawberry milk tea-inspired note-taking app that only needed to create and delete notes. That scope made the benchmark easier [...]

A Philippine Founder’s Practical Guide to Singapore and Hong Kong Incorporation in 2026

2026-05-26T08:32:59+00:00

Why Filipino Founders Consider Offshore Companies Picture this: you are a Filipino startup founder in the Philippines, and you're considering setting up an offshore company for a variety of reasons. One being international market access, easier cross-border payments, investor credibility, and tax planning. So the strategic move is to establish an offshore corporate structure that's not just meant for simple tax planning, but rather for global operational resilience. Legal disclaimer: This guide is for general informational purposes only and should not be treated as legal, tax, or financial advice. Filipino founders should consult a Philippine tax adviser and a licensed [...]

Blast Off to the Cloud! Celestial Supernova by AWS Student Builder Group Celestia

2026-05-25T12:45:24+00:00

Celestial Supernova is a cloud event organized by AWS Student Builder Group Celestia from Parañaque last April 26. The event brought together students, builders, and tech professionals at White Cloak Technologies in Pasig City, with support from Tutorials Dojo. The goal of the event is to make cloud technology more accessible, practical, and approachable for students. Right from the start, the event's energy leaned toward hands-on learning, community support, and giving students a clearer sense of what building in tech actually feels like. Not just about sitting down and listening to cloud concepts for hours, but rather focusing on meeting [...]

A Beginner’s Guide to Small Language Models (SLMs)

2026-05-04T14:45:55+00:00

What are Small Language Model (SLM)? We often hear about Large Language Models, but did you know that there’s a “smaller” version of it? In this article, we will talk about what a Small Language model is, their strengths and weaknesses, and its practical use cases. So, what really is a Small Language Model? At its core, an SLM is a lightweight language model designed specifically for task-specific, highly efficient inference. It is built on the exact same transformer foundations as the Large Language Models (LLMs) we are familiar with, but it’s built with a completely different philosophy. To clarify: [...]

Finsharc, a Newcomer Reshaping How We Think About Personal Finance

2026-04-29T05:41:12+00:00

Finsharc is a personal finance application that is entering a very saturated place. As there are personal finance apps such as Money Manager that already solve the basics of expense tracking at a personal level, (things you buy day-to-day, such as lattes or groceries) budgeting for the future, and reporting with pie charts. Those things have already been solved. But most of these traditional applications are stable, yet entirely rigid. Finsharc, which is a student-led project developed by students from multiple Philippine universities (including National University in Manila, Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa, and University of Makati), attempts to replace [...]

Claude Mythos Explained, is it an AI Breakthrough or Overhyped Cybersecurity Threat?

2026-04-27T05:07:25+00:00

The announcement of Claude Mythos stirred the community towards the advancement of large language models and their application within the domain of cybersecurity. For more than two decades, the investigation and discovery of zero-day vulnerabilities have rested upon cybersecurity teams and researchers. However, the announcement of Claude Mythos, by Anthropic is claimed to be capable of autonomously identifying and weaponizing these security vulnerabilities at scale, This signals a potential shift in balance between offensive and defensive cyber capabilities. Ironically, it was reportedly discovered accidentally through Anthropic's Content Management System.   Why Is Claude Mythos Getting So Much Attention? Unlike the [...]

Why Is AI Alignment So Hard? LLM and Vision Model Risks Explained

2026-04-02T16:48:22+00:00

As we progress in the age of AI, we chase the best, the fastest, and the most accurate model available, especially in the domain of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vision Language Models (VLMs). We use them across creative and technical tasks, yet rarely stop to consider the consequences of their training, whether in frontier labs or on private machines that refine and distill them. Our focus tends to be twofold. First: can this model help me do X or Y tasks? Second: how fast and how accurately can it do those tasks? Will it actually save time, or should [...]

AI Employees: The Next Stage of Human Computer Interaction

2026-04-02T16:30:29+00:00

For decades, computers behaved like obedient machines. You gave commands, they executed them. Nothing more. If the command was wrong, the computer still executed it. Then came intelligent assistants powered by modern Artificial Intelligence (primarily LLMs) capable of answering questions, generating code, and summarizing information. But something new is emerging. Software is no longer just assisting humans. In many workflows, it is starting to work alongside them. This is the beginning of what we call AI Employees. What Is an AI Employee? Before going further, it's useful to define the concept. An AI Employee is a software agent that: Runs [...]
