Supporting Faldi and Yudhi Satrio by stop listening to Levels’ advices.

Starting today we decided to support two Indonesian tech workers, Naufaldi “F2aldi” Rafif S and Yudhi Satrio by stop following and reading someone’s advices through his blog posts and Twitter account.

The person in question is Pieter Levels, an award-winning multiple tech startup founder who thinks everyone should eventually move into Portugal. I was a secret fan of him, until now of course, as well as some of his friends who are eager in founding tech startups.

And why? I’m actually amazed with his stance on async work, “unreachable” policy, and of course, Portugal.

For those who have never heard about the word I’m going to say it right now, we consider these people as indiehackers. They are individuals building tech products mostly by themselves, then launch dedicated companies, especially to contain marketing and customer support teams for their products, then get some funds from venture capitalists and repeat!

There’s nothing wrong with indiehackers at all, and we have some of them in Indonesia, like Frans Allen with his brother who created a simple “ID card watermarker” app who gained some local media traction. Yes, for a simple web app which I can actually made it in just 3 hours.

And you may be asking, why do we want to write a dedicated post to announce this, even though we could just do that privately. Sure, we could do that, but we still wanted to have our stance, both regarding the case and our support, written here.

The context.

It’s the same case when the Indonesian parliament would like to penalize sex outside marriage with 1 year of jail. The law will also be applied to foreigners.

So he complained.

That’s it, and as some Indonesian people with some initial degree of respect to him started commenting, he decided to lock his Tweet and block these people, F2aldi included.

Yes, Indonesia still have many retarded government individuals and institutions, in terms of corruptions, all the “personal intentions” of being the government, monoreligion enforcement, and, just look at the PSE enforcement thing.

But in terms of sex outside marriage, as prided by people to be compliant with Indonesian moral values, I can’t help anymore but to say sorry and goodbye to the person I’ve previously considered interesting and inspiring. I have my own religious and spiritual stances on things like the decentralization of the Internet, and in this case, I’ll support the new law.

As always, that’s it, I’m going back to work. This time under a new, revolutionary, non Levelsian way of work. Thank God I have my own.
