Happy Shiftine Day!
No, it’s not her birthday (and I would prefer choosing April 23 instead of today). But at the same time, today’s 16/5! So, how would you pronounce the number 16 that suddenly shifted to 15? Is that “si… fteen?” To celebrate the first Shiftine Day we’ve celebrated on our lifetime, we are officially changing our…
Introducing HAM v1.0.4.
HAM is a simple Jekyll framework that allows you to build static wiki sites. And today, we are introducing a maintenance update with the following changes. First, the Bootstrap Icons dependency was updated from v1.11.1 to v1.11.3. There are no significant changes from the 100+ new icons introduced since v1.10. These icons are directly built…
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…
Techbros.
Techbros are, for obvious reasons, not just all about iSheeps vs Samsung fanboys anymore. For example, a “cryptocurrency techbro” aka. “cryptobro” is enlightened with the advances of one or specific cryptocurrencies to the point that they forgot that the word “crypto” actually stands for “cryptography”. It’s a whole community of people enlightened with a specific…
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,…
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…
