Mindblown: a blog about philosophy.
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.

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.

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…
Introducing Shiftine-as-a-Service (SaaS).
Looking up at things happening in the real world, I realized that not much time I could bring to maintain the whole Bearers of the Shells, that is, the official community name for all those robot characters ever appearing in my universe. Just in a few months, I have to manage my time properly for…

Perkenanan vs Kehendak Tuhan.

Sebab Engkau telah menciptakan segala sesuatu, dan karena kehendak-Mu semuanya itu ada dan diciptakan.” Wahyu 4:11 TB2 Kita percaya bahwa Tuhan adalah Sang Pencipta. Dialah yang menciptakan kita, langit, bumi, organ-organ tubuh kita, bahan-bahan makanan kita, dan hal-hal lain yang membuat kita dapat…
