I am working on an AI-powered fitness and food tracker that automatically logs your food based on the photo. One of the difficulties I had when going to the gym is keeping up and sharing macros weekly with my personal trainer. Manually logging food is a hassle and massive pain point - so my app, Eat n Snap attempts to solve this problem. You can also set weight and BMI goals and see your progress on a weekly basis.
I suppose you must know this already if you have done research on alternatives, but there are already a plethora of apps like this — Lifesum, Cal AI, MacroFactor, just to name a few.
Good question! I have added better UX features like the ability to record a voice memo at the end of the day to automate the logging. It would be helpful for someone like a busy professional who is having a hard time to take time out of the day to log his food at every meal... So during his downtime, or before he goes to bed - he can quickly jolt down what he ate and then AI would summarise log it for him.
I think this is hard with only a photo because you can’t always see what’s inside. But I’ve always dreamed of something like this paired with some kind of affordable hardware scanner that can get just enough data to fill in the blanks from the photos.
This is already a feature in an app called MacroFactor. But there is definitely room for improvement in the field.
One thing that I miss in MacroFactor is that it should have some memory of my previous choice.
Example:
If I take a picture of a glass of milk, it always assumes it to be whole milk (3.5% fat). Then I change it to a low fat milk (0.5% fat). But no matter how many times I do that, it keeps assuming that the milk in the photo is whole milk.
Yeah, I too was surprised to find the dev experience very good: all JetBrains IDEs work well, Visual Studio appears to work fine, and most language toolchains seem well supported.
I'm holding my breath though. I have a Samsung Edge 4 laptop and I didn't find the battery life impressive - prob got around 6 hours under coding / programming tasks. GPU performance is terrible too.
I feel like I'm constantly charger-tending all my non-Apple silicon laptops.
M-series instant wake from sleep is also years ahead of the Windows wakeup roulette, so even if this new processor helps with time away from chargers... we still have the Windows sleep/hibernate experience.
Its not just CBA, but Westpac, Optus and pretty much any large corporate in Australia.
ACS is being a hypocrite since:
1) they charge $$$ fees for validating IT experience so they would never advocate lowering the immgiration rate (its also a conflict of interest). So they have a hand in dismantling Australian tech jobs.
2) they inform the government that there's still a "skills shortage" of developer , when in reality, they do it to suppress wages.

Hi, I am Chris. I am an Australia but I have an EU work visa. I have 6+ years as a Full Stack Software Developer. I am experienced in the ReactJS and React Native tech Stack, and have developed API endpoints in Ruby on Rails. I have worked with companies such as Sportsbet, AIA Australia and Optus.
I have experience with AI / Machine Learning, where in my most recent project I was collaborating with the Queensland Cancer Council to produce a research paper (still in peer review) on breast cancer and Interpretable Machine Learning.
It depends on your location. Some of our staff live locally, and some commute from all parts of Sydney and the surrounding regions. I come in via train most days and it's a 10min walk from the station.
There's a surprising amount of software jobs in Western Sydney in IoT as it's the industrial heart of the Sydney region. In our case, the office is next door to the factory, so we can collab with hardware and manufacturing folk easily.
We are having conversations about opening an office in the city - mostly for tech workers. But that is still in early conversations and there are no concrete plans or timelines yet.
I'm thinking of writing an app to manage ticketing and events in Europe. There's Eventbrite but it mostly for larger cities instead of mid-sized ones. I think there could be a niche for cheaper alternatives especially since student societies get charged like 2.50 euros on top of a 10 euro ticket.
Also, writing a Masters thesis on area-level and individual-level predictors of breast cancer... so a lot of applied ML.
