Vibe coding is dangerous. AI isn't a senior engineer replacement, it's a junior that needs a manager. Here's what I learned migrating my home server with an AI agent.

Smart agents are great, but simple ones actually ship code. Why tools like Pi and OpenClaw beat complex LSP-based assistants.

Menurut saya, tugas utama dari seorang backend engineer adalah mengelola state, dan persistent state yang paling umum adalah database. Tentu saja, sehingga mempelajari database atau tools yang berkomunikasi ke database menjadi sangat penting. Salah satu tools…

Static sites are fast but lonely. I added a Medium-style Clap button using Astro, Preact, and Cloudflare Workers to fix that.

Dalam tulisan sebelumnya saya memilih menggunakan context manager untuk memberi visibilitas bahwa operasional ORM dalam satu transaction.

def process_one():
with transaction.atomic():
user = User.objects.create(name='john')
Profile.objects.create(user=user)…

From a monthly VPS bill to a powerful local server. Why I migrated my AI assistant (OpenClaw) to my homelab.

I recently started going to the gym. Being a beginner again after years of being a 'Senior' Engineer was a humbling reality check.

Sadar tidak, kita hidup di zaman ketika rasa “bosan” itu sudah punah?

How I sleep soundly while my server updates itself. A guide to Watchtower and Telegram notifications.

Setelah lebih dari lima tahun bekerja di satu perusahaan, per 6 Januari saya akhirnya memberanikan diri mengajukan resign, dan per 6 Februari kemarin saya resmi berhenti bekerja.
Tapi ya, saya bukanlah pemberani yang pergi keluar tanpa rencana. Alhamdulillah…

My Astro blog already supports scheduled posts, but I still had to push to master to actually publish them. Here's how I fixed that with a cron job and a tiny Node script.

The clap button worked, but KV had a race condition. I migrated the backend to Cloudflare D1 for atomic writes and hashed IPs.

Why I run a homelab and hoard my own data instead of trusting the cloud.

I tried to change a font. Three hours later I was reading Linux kernel docs.

Sedari dulu selalu berpikir bagaimana caranya agar sedikit (terasa) produktif. Beberapa tahun lalu saya membeli sebuah Android tab low end, Redmi Pad seharga 1 jutaan, tujuannya agar saya (terlihat) produktif.

Karena bagi saya tablet "hanya" handphone dengan…

I moved from Hugo to Zola for simplicity. Then I moved to Astro for flexibility. Here's why I traded a Rust binary for a Node_modules folder.

Terpapar 24/7 mengenai beragam konten AI, dari yang mulai orang iseng membuat karikatur dirinya sampai dengan orang yang menulis panjang di Twitter mengenai beragam AI, sedikit banyak jengah sih. Seringkali ingin me-reset ulang algoritma dan biarkan timeline…

Before changing anything visual, I spent time auditing my AstroPaper blog for security, SEO, accessibility, and performance issues. Here's what I found.

I built a terminal-styled blogroll with ASCII art, pulsing RSS indicators, and OPML export. Blogrolls are back.

The big visual overhaul. New fonts, new colors, terminal hero, data pipeline cards, two-rail layout, and all the bugs that came with it.
