𝗛𝗘𝗖 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗱𝗲𝗴𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝗼 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗶𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂. I believe it is the most tiring and pointless process ever. Why don't HEC and universities align & attest degrees before handing them over to students? Why do you need all the old original educational documents even the certificates? And Nikkah nama for women? Isn't their ID card enough? On top of that, they charge exorbitant fees for the attestation process: Rs. 1000: Original document. Rs. 700: Photocopy. Rs. 300-500: Courier services. Selling degree attestations? Rather than providing a basic service! Students have already invested heavily in it. If universities are HEC-recognized, they should have HEC-authorized officers who can verify degrees before issuing them to students. #coped

Software Engineer salaries have wild variations around the world. One thing is clear though: - Regardless of where you live, working remotely for a US company will increase your salary. Probably by a lot! See Pakistan at the end of the list, the highest salary reported there is ~$16k/year. So, if the highest paid Software Engineer in Pakistan lands a remote job earning a "low" US salary of $110k/year, that means an almost 7x salary increase. Mind blowing stuff! The specific math is different for each country, but the rationale applies everywhere. Take a look into Germany or France, prominent EU economies, with highest SWE salaries of $90k and $70k/year. SWEs there can still gain a 50% salary bump by working remote to the US. Nice! Living in Portugal, my salary used to be around those $30k reported as the lower end in this survey. Landing a remote jobs for a US company made my salary 5x back in 2016. To this day I'm still enjoying the Salary Arbitrage of earning a USD salary while living in the EU. Some will say "oh, but those salaries are only for people living in those countries". Well, that's not the case at all. Check this salary comparison between Remote jobs and In-office jobs, based on 63k job descriptions I scraped last week: https://lnkd.in/dEAS9KFr

📢 𝗦𝗲𝘁𝘂𝗽 𝗺𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝗶𝗻 .𝗡𝗲𝘁 👉 In ASP.NET Core, the WebApplicationBuilder class is utilized to initialize your application. During this initialization process, 𝗪𝗲𝗯𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗕𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿 generates a 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗠𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗿 instance and makes it accessible through the 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘁𝘆. 👉 WebApplicationBuilder adds several default configuration providers to the ConfigurationManager  ✔️ JSON file provider  ✔️ User Secrets  ✔️ Environment Variable  ✔️ Command-line arguments 🔥 The Configuration Manager is automatically set up with these sources, but you can easily add additional providers. 🚀Alternatively, you can start from scratch by clearing the default providers, as demonstrated in the slide, allowing you to fully customize the configuration sources. In .NET, you can use a variety of configuration sources to manage your application’s settings. You can also use third-party configuration provider or add your own custom configuration provider. Fundamentally, it allows you to aggregate configuration values from multiple sources into a single, cohesive object. ✅ 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿.𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀.𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿() By calling Clear(), you remove all the previously added configuration sources. This can be useful if you want to start with a clean slate and add only specific configuration sources afterward. ✅ 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿.𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.𝗔𝗱𝗱𝗫𝗺𝗹𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗲("𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗵",𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹:𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲,𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗢𝗻𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲:𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲); 1️⃣ 𝗣𝗮𝘁𝗵: Specify the path of the file. 2️⃣ 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹: true, telling the configuration provider to skip files that it can’t find at runtime instead of throwing 𝗙𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗡𝗼𝘁𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. 3️⃣ 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗢𝗻𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲: This means that if the configuration file is modified while the application is running, the configuration will automatically reload to reflect the changes. This is useful for scenarios where you want the application to adapt to configuration changes without needing a restart. 4️⃣ 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗮𝗱𝗢𝗻𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲: 𝗳𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗲: If set to false, the configuration will not reload automatically when the file changes. Any changes to the configuration file will only take effect after the application is restarted. ❓ Have you ever added a configuration file manually?

It’s alarming to see Pakistan ranked 36th in IT among South Asian countries. Leadership that lacks vision and prioritization of education will inevitably hold back progress. As highlighted, there’s no advancement without education and effort. Pakistan’s IT industry has immense potential but needs a strong, forward-thinking leadership to realize it. Let's aim for innovation, foster IT development, and prepare a talented workforce that can drive the sector to compete on the global stage. #PakistanIT #Leadership #Innovation #EducationMatters #SouthAsia #FutureReady

Written by, Khawar Shahzad Chadhar Reflecting on the progress made in Pakistan's IT sector just four years ago when Mr. Imran Khan was the Prime Minister of Pakistan. At that time, PTV was broadcasting programs teaching basic programming concepts, indicating that the government was focused on the IT industry. However, after the regime change, a fascist government came into power. Instead of continuing to invest in the IT sector to help Pakistan become an IT hub of Asia, they spent 40 billion rupees to install a firewall to filter and block internet access, primarily to prevent people from criticizing the government's policies and their handlers. As a result, the country, which was growing in the IT sector, is now suffering. For example, Fiverr has deactivated Pakistani accounts due to internet issues. The industry that was contributing 3.5 billion dollars to Pakistan's economy is now in decline. This shows how the priorities of a good leader and a corrupt person can significantly impact the nation's progress. #ITIndustry #TechPolicy #DigitalEconomy #Pakistan #LeadershipMatters #EconomicGrowth #Innovation #ImranKhan #GovernmentPolicy #ITHub #FutureOfTech #InternetFreedom #DigitalTransformation #EconomicDecline #TechInnovation #Leadership #TechInvestment #Fiverr #DigitalEconomy #FreedomOfSpeech

🤖 In my recent post, I got a query from a dear friend Ammar Ahmed Siddiqui asked about approaches to testing AI components/systems. This gave me the idea to write a descriptive write-up on this intriguing topic. 🧠 Testing AI components requires a thorough approach that balances technical expertise with creativity and adaptability. 🌟 Here's a detailed look at my approach: 1. **Data Quality Assurance**: As a Quality Assurance Engineer, we meticulously select and validate datasets to ensure they accurately represent real-world scenarios and cover a variety of use cases. 📊 This involves sourcing diverse data sources and carefully examining data quality to ensure reliable model training. 2. **Algorithm Validation**: As a Quality Assurance Engineer, we rigorously test AI algorithms through a combination of unit testing, integration testing, and system testing. 🛠️ This involves assessing the algorithm's accuracy, reliability, and scalability across different inputs and situations. We also focus on testing edge cases and corner scenarios to uncover potential vulnerabilities. 3. **Ethical and Bias Testing**: As a Quality Assurance Engineer, we prioritize ethical considerations and conduct bias testing to identify and address potential biases in AI models. 🤝 This involves evaluating fairness, transparency, and accountability to ensure AI systems serve all users equitably. Additionally, we assess the potential impact of AI systems on society and implement measures to mitigate any negative consequences. By adopting a comprehensive approach to AI testing, we aim to deliver AI solutions that are accurate, dependable, and ethically responsible. 🌟 #AITesting #DataQuality #AlgorithmValidation #EthicalAI #TechInnovation #SoftwareQualityAssurance #Collaboration #SQA #SoftwareTesting #QualityAssurance #HierarchyOfTesting #TechLife #Technology #Management

Why Implement API Versioning? It allows you to support different versions of your API simultaneously. It enables you to safely introduce new features or changes without disrupting existing users. Here is an example of using API Versioning in ASP.NET Core Web API: 1- Install the NuGet Package: dotnet add package: Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Versioning 2- Configure API Versioning: In the ConfigureServices method, add the following services.AddApiVersioning(options => { options.ReportApiVersions = true; // Reports supported API versions in response headers options.AssumeDefaultVersionWhenUnspecified = true; // Uses the default version if not specified options.DefaultApiVersion = new ApiVersion(1, 0); // Sets the default API version }); 3- Create Versioned Controllers: Copy your existing controller and add the ApiVersion attribute. Also, update the Route attribute to reflect the version, as shown in the snapshots. 4- Test the API Versioning by calling the two different versions of your API: Version 1.0: GET /api/v1/products Version 2.0: GET /api/v2/products
