“Frontend vs Backend arguments”
how do I set up vsc correctly? I always get project file not found error and I can't find a solution on the internet. Lmk if you have a fix :(
Hi! Thank you for the ask! I wonder in what situation this happens to you? When trying to open the file? Or when trying to run some command? Could be different reasons so maybe my answer won't really help you... But! I've had this issue sometimes; for example, once, I was trying to run a python script, but it wouldn't let me.
Here, the issue is that the folder I have open in VS code is a parent folder to the folder where the file I'm trying to run is located. Here, I'm running the script with the help of the "play" button on the top right.
What it does, I suppose, is try to run the file day-3.py in the directory/folder that is currently open in VS code, but! In the folder advent_of_code_23, there is no file called day-3.py!
So, your issue could potentially be that you are accidentally running your script in a parent folder where it can't be located, since it's in a child folder.
If you still want to have a parent folder up and running, and see all your children folders, you could use the terminal to manually access and run your script.
Step 1: open a new terminal (top option)
Step 2: in the terminal, type ls (stands for list) to see all the folders in your parent folder
Step 3: type cd (stands for change directory) and then the name of the folder you want to navigate into, where the file you want to run is located. (TIP! You can use the tab button on your keyboard to autofill the folder name)
Step 4: Now you can see that your location has changed to be <C:\...\parent-folder-name\child-folder-name>, which means you are now in another folder! So for me, now the location is <C:\...\advent_of_code_23\day-3>, which means I can now directly access everything in this folder! In my screenshot I also typed LS to see what the contents of my folder is.
Step 5: In here, I can now run my python file by typing python day-3.py
If you're working in another language, I would recommend googling "how to start a [language name] in the terminal". Or, if you're running for example a React project, you may want to look in your package.json to see what scripts are available, and run those with your preferred package manager, such as yarn or npm.
In my case, this project is set up with yarn, so I would run this using the yarn dev command.
I hope this has been somewhat helpful, and if it didn't resolve your issue feel free to reach out to me personally and I'd be happy to take a look at your specific case. I can't promise a definite fix, but I can promise that I'll try! 🩷

How I Fixed Cross-Border GPT-4/Claude Latency & Packet Loss
Straight to the point — hard-won production experience: 💸 If you’re building AI tools for Southeast Asian users, you’ve definitely been frustrated by one annoying issue. Singapore-based app servers calling US-hosted LLMs constantly suffer from high latency, random packet loss, and frequent user timeouts that absolutely kill your product reputation. 🤯
I’m based in the US and tried every common fix out there, wasting tons of time on useless work. I finally figured it out: cross-border LLM performance is never about stacking more servers or proxy nodes. Today I’ll share the lazy, one-change solution that solved all my network headaches. 🛌✨
🔍 The Real Problem: Perfect Product, Terrible Network
We built an AI writing tool targeting the Southeast Asian market. We hosted our app servers in Singapore on purpose to stay close to local users and deliver better access speed. 📍
But there’s a huge catch. GPT-4 and Claude are all US-based models. Connecting Singapore servers directly to US endpoints means crossing the Pacific — an inherently unstable network route that brings endless issues: 🌊
Base latency consistently sat above 300ms, making AI responses feel slow and laggy; 🐢
Packet loss spiked over 5% during peak hours, triggering non-stop user timeouts; ⏱️
Network quality varies wildly across Southeast Asia. It’s impossible to build customized network optimization for every single region.
Simply put: No matter how polished your product is, a bad network ruins the entire user experience. 📉
❌ Two Pointless Mistakes I Wasted Time On
As a US-based developer, I trusted my common sense at first — and it backfired hard. Looking back, it was all just self-inflicted busywork. 🤦♂️
❌ Mistake 1: Hosting US VPS proxies locally
I naively thought: The LLMs are in the US, I’m in the US, so a local VPS proxy must be rock solid.
Sounds logical, right? Completely wrong for my scenario. My traffic route became Singapore → US VPS → US LLM. The core cross-Pacific bottleneck remained untouched, and I just added an extra, unnecessary network hop.
Latency never improved, and I got stuck with extra maintenance work: node monitoring, health checks, and manual failover at midnight. Total waste of time. 🕳️
❌ Mistake 2: Generic third-party proxy services
To avoid self-host hassle, I switched to public proxy services. It was even worse! Nodes crashed randomly without warning. I kept getting middle-of-the-night alerts and had to manually swap IPs to keep production stable. Super unreliable for real business usage. 💔📉
🚀 The Ultimate Lazy Fix: One Config Change, Game-Changing Stability
After testing all those ineffective workarounds, I landed on a solid solution: a global intelligent API gateway optimized specifically for LLM traffic. 🌐🛡️
The best part? Zero code changes, zero maintenance. I only updated my API base URL — not a single line of business code was touched. ✨
It outperforms regular proxies by a huge margin, thanks to smart global scheduling:
Global edge node coverage optimized exclusively for cross-border AI traffic;
Auto-detects geographic request sources and picks the lowest-latency route instantly; 🔄
Monitors node health in real time and switches to backup nodes in seconds during jitter, with zero user perception. 👻
📊 Real Production Results (No Fluff, Pure Data)
The performance upgrade was absolutely night and day:
Average latency: 320ms → 110ms (nearly 70% speed improvement); 🚀
Packet loss: Dropped from 5%+ to below 0.2% (basically negligible for user-facing AI apps);
Stability: No more random timeouts, no more midnight alert storms — rock-solid. 🧱🔇
💡 Honest Takeaways for AI Builders
Stop over-engineering your cross-border AI stack. 🛑
The truth: LLM acceleration relies on smart routing, not more servers. 🧠
US-based VPS proxies make sense in some scenarios, but they’re useless for cross-region offshore AI business. The intelligent gateway I’m currently using perfectly solves traditional proxy pain points like instability, high latency, and heavy maintenance with professional global routing logic.
Instead of exhausting your team building and troubleshooting private proxy systems, leveraging a mature, ready-made solution stabilizes your business with minimal effort. If you’re also struggling with cross-border LLM latency and packet loss, this optimization approach is definitely worth trying — it saves you tons of unnecessary trial and error. 🛠️
Remote Back-End Developers vs In-House Teams: Which Is Better?
As businesses continue to invest in digital platforms, the demand for skilled developers keeps growing. Companies today rely on strong back-end systems to manage databases, improve performance, maintain security, and support user experiences across websites and applications.
One major question many organizations face is whether to build an in-house development team or work with remote professionals. Both options have advantages, but changing business needs and modern work models are making remote hiring more attractive for companies of all sizes.
Understanding the differences between remote back-end developers and in-house teams can help businesses make smarter hiring decisions that support long-term growth.
Understanding the Role of Back-End Developers
Back-end developers manage the server-side functionality of digital applications. Their work includes database management, APIs, system integrations, cloud infrastructure, application security, and performance optimization.
Without a strong back-end system, even the best-looking websites or applications can experience slow performance, downtime, or security vulnerabilities.
Businesses that want to hire a backend developer usually look for professionals with technical expertise in frameworks, databases, and server-side programming languages that can support scalable digital operations.
The Traditional In-House Team Model
For many years, companies preferred building internal development teams. In-house developers work directly within the company environment and are often deeply connected with business operations and company culture.
Advantages of In-House Teams
Better Internal Collaboration
In-house teams can communicate more easily with management, marketing departments, and product teams. Face-to-face interaction often supports quicker discussions and project alignment.
Stronger Company Integration
Employees working internally may develop a better understanding of company goals, customer expectations, and long-term strategies.
Direct Project Supervision
Managers have more control over workflows, schedules, and task management when developers work within the organization.
Challenges of In-House Hiring
Although in-house teams provide certain advantages, they also come with significant challenges.
Higher Operational Costs
Hiring internal developers involves salaries, office space, equipment, employee benefits, training, and administrative costs. For growing businesses, these expenses can become difficult to manage.
Limited Talent Availability
Finding experienced developers locally is becoming increasingly competitive. Many companies struggle to recruit specialized technical professionals within their region.
This is one reason why businesses looking to hire backend developers in UK are exploring remote hiring solutions to access a broader talent pool.
Slower Recruitment Process
Technical hiring often takes weeks or months. Delays in recruitment can slow down product launches and business operations.
The Rise of Remote Back-End Developers
Remote work has changed how companies build technology teams. Businesses can now connect with skilled professionals from different regions while maintaining flexibility and productivity.
Remote developers work independently or through outsourcing partners while collaborating with businesses through modern communication and project management tools.
This hiring model has become increasingly popular among startups, agencies, and enterprises looking for scalable technical support.
Benefits of Remote Development Teams
Access to Global Talent
Remote hiring removes geographical limitations. Companies can work with highly skilled developers from different locations based on expertise rather than proximity.
Businesses searching for backend developers in UK can now expand hiring beyond local markets and identify professionals with specialized technical skills.
Reduced Business Costs
Remote hiring helps businesses reduce expenses related to office infrastructure, utilities, and employee overheads. Companies can invest more resources into product development and growth instead of operational spending.
Faster Team Expansion
Remote staffing allows businesses to scale teams quickly based on project requirements. This flexibility is valuable for companies managing seasonal workloads, product launches, or expansion plans.
Improved Productivity
Many remote developers work in highly focused environments with fewer workplace distractions. With clear communication systems in place, businesses often experience strong productivity and faster turnaround times.
Are Remote Teams Difficult to Manage?
One common concern businesses have about remote teams is communication. However, modern collaboration tools such as Slack, Zoom, Jira, and project management platforms have made remote teamwork easier than ever.
Clear workflows, regular updates, and structured communication systems help businesses manage distributed teams efficiently.
Companies that hire backend developer professionals remotely often discover that performance depends more on management structure and communication processes than physical office presence.
Which Option Is Better for Growing Businesses?
The right choice depends on business goals, budget, project size, and hiring timelines.
In-house teams may work well for companies that require constant on-site collaboration or highly specialized internal operations. However, remote hiring offers greater flexibility, scalability, and cost efficiency for many modern businesses.
For startups and growing organizations, remote developers often provide faster access to technical expertise without the high costs associated with traditional hiring models.
The Role of Recruitment Outsourcing in Tech Hiring
Building a strong remote development team still requires the right recruitment strategy. Businesses need reliable hiring partners that understand technical staffing and workforce management.
A trusted RPO services company in UK can simplify the process of sourcing, screening, and onboarding remote technical talent while helping businesses reduce hiring delays.
Many organizations now rely on recruitment process outsourcing solutions to improve hiring efficiency and maintain access to qualified developers for ongoing projects.

Conclusion
Both remote back-end developers and in-house teams have their advantages. The best solution depends on business priorities, hiring capacity, and long-term operational goals.
However, the growing demand for flexibility, faster hiring, and global talent access is making remote development teams a preferred choice for many modern businesses.
