Site Update: More glass-cards!
It has been a long time when we reintroduced glass-cards on our website. They are timeless, representing these four different eras of user interface design: We are first proud to introduce this as far as in 2019, before 2021, and late 2023, where we made it the foundation of our design system. And now, there’s…
Our guide to our unwritten REST API conventions.
An updated version of this may be available on our digital garden. Naming things is a difficult thing, according to many developers. But not for someone who graduated in an university that’s silently houses great REST API experts. I’m not joking. According to HackerRank in 2021, BINUS University entered the top charts for Asia-Pacific universities…

GitHub: My robots are 2.5x as productive as I am.
In January 2022, I decided to create a dedicated GitHub account for my automated bots, doing great things in the public with GitHub Actions. And as of today, my robots are 2.5x as productive than I am on GitHub according to the contribution graphs. Note that I still can’t remove all automated tasks for crediting…

Celebrating 10 years of not even finishing my personal website.
On April 23rd 2014, I marked my new milestone of creating a personal website using the technology people were intended to: raw HTML and CSS files. No CSS libraries and JS frameworks to use back then, and it’s my exodus from being limited to creating WordPress-based sites. But crafting a perfect personal websites took a…

Unveiling my next postgraduate study programme.
This is alterine, another side character I created alongside the infamous Shiftine. While me and Shiftine represent the orderness of the SYSTEM, alterine represented something else. For her, tech is not something that must be used to retain human rights, like us, but tech itself is a human right. Well, how does the alt relate…

Our Bluesky account gets genderswapped!
On April 1st, 2024, we wrote a news that Reinhart Previano Koentjoro has officially changed his name to Citra Manggala Dirgantara. It wasn’t a transgender April Fools joke at all, that we really intend to rename Reinhart’s officially-registered business unit (confusingly named “Reinhart Previano Koentjoro”) to Citra Manggala Dirgantara, the official Indonesian name of Shiftine,…

Hari-hari ini, suatu sistem dan software tak akan tercipta tanpa suatu ideologi.
Saat saya mencoba menulis sebuah personal statement untuk mendaftarkan diri kepada salah satu program beasiswa, saya menulis sesuatu karena saya sadar bahwa, aplikasi chatting yang sering kita pakai, situs streaming film yang sering kita pakai, jenis peramban web (web browser) yang sering kita pakai, semuanya terbentuk atas niatan pihak-pihak tertentu yang memanfaatkan kita. Ya, ada…
Being concise and consistent with “and”.
Well, what could be wrong with the word “and”? Let’s look at this example. Box A is full of red candies, while Box B is full of blue candies. Austin mixed all of these contents back into Box A, so we can now say it’s full of red and blue candies. In programming, red and…
NOTICE: MacBook factory reset on March 4 to 7, 2024.
On Monday, March 4 to Wednesday, March 7, Reinhart will perform a factory reset to his MacBook Air (reinhart-pc3) to reinstall necessary development tools and remove older projects. Sorry for the inconvenience.

So, here’s how to win Firefox over in 2024.
I have been a long-time user of Firefox since 2015, especially, when “Firefox Developer Edition” was announced (as a rebrand of Firefox Aurora pre-release channel). Sure, I have used the web browser at some time between 2013 and 2015, before switching to Chrome, then Opera, then (checks notes) Internet Explorer 11. And in 2021, I…
