Thank You IceHouse

-
Last Friday was my graduation day from IceHouse University. It was a wonderful 2 years journey and I consider it as a university since I learned a lot more stuffs there compared to my previous 7 years in the tech industry. 

Not only that, I met a lot of interesting people there. I met the team who rose from being laid off by Yahoo!, and they're truly inspirational people to work with. I met an unknown guy from Singapore who became my best friend at IceHouse and now became a CTO at bridestory. I met one of the most prominent geek in Indonesia who now leads an RnD lab. I also met a travelling designer, a cool frontend guy who likes to go to beer garden, a tech guy who refuses his parent's wish to be a government guy just because he thinks it's not geeky enough, a really smart geek who comes from no man's land and become the first winner of code of the week at IceHouse, a developer evangelist turned engineering lead, a photonic science master degree graduated from Germany turned into QA lead, finally got a mentor who graduated from MIT and most of all, I met with the brightest minds in Indonesia that I'm sure will be the future tech leaders in Indonesia.

However, the show must go on. Starting tomorrow, I am starting my new career at Traveloka, a cool young company in the travel tech industry. A lot of people are asking me why. I've always followed Traveloka since their first launch. I like how the company is run and I like the idea that they want to do different things with the industry, most of them I can't disclose here.

Thank you IceHouse, for giving me the chance to get exposed more to the edge of technology. You guys are the geekiest crowd ever and I'm proud to be one of the alumnee. I now follow the vision of IceHouse to create future leaders of the Indonesian tech scene.

Here's to a wonderful 2 years at IceHouse and to an exciting step forward with Traveloka!

regards

Customizing Sanic's Logging output on Gunicorn

-
For those of you who didn't know, Sanic is a Python 3.6+ web server and web framework that’s written to go fast. It allows the usage of the async/await syntax added in Python 3.5, which makes your code non-blocking and speedy. Sanic's API is highly influenced by Flask and the API is really good. I worked on a personal project lately and found out that doing custom logging on Sanic is quite hard. You don't get a lot of information from Sanic's logging library and since it's based on the default Python 3 logging library , the information it provides is limited. My initial thought was since I will use Gunicorn, let's use Gunicorn's --access-logformat to get the information I needed. The functionality provided a lot of information and I can make use of it to get what I need. However, when you use Sanic Gunicorn Worker, which you need to use to make it work on Gunicorn, it will only use Sanic's logging output. I did a lot of googling and it seems like a lo

5 Takeaways From My Past 5 Years With Coral, Prism, Midtrans and Gojek

-

A little over 5 years ago, I decided to resign from Traveloka and joined hands with my friends to help build Coral. It was an exciting project. I have a big interest in the social commerce space and Coral seemed to be a very good take at it. We built it, launched it, learned from it and in the end decided that the business model will not be sustainable. Our experiment was evidently working. Merchant's conversion rate reached over 20% on our platform but we couldn't monetise it. Then we took the decision to pivot. We took the best part of Coral, the chat-to-buy capability, and breathe life into Prism. The product helped businesses dive head first into the social commerce space with their existing platforms. One thing that a lot of people don't know was that Coral and Prism was part of Midtrans from early on. It was acquired before launch. This enabled us to do the experiment without worrying about funding. Gojek acquired Midtrans during the closing days of 2017 and Prism w

Lessons From Leading and Developing Product Engineering Teams - Part 1

The WFH period gives me extra time to think and reflect back on the lessons I’ve gained throughout my 15+ years career. I spent most of it leading others and I've gathered a lot of practical knowledge. I want to share it to help others learning to take up leadership. So, here are some important lessons about leading people based on my experience. It's a long read, so please bear with me, I'll split it into 3 parts. #1 - It all starts with trust Hire people you can trust. This brings a world of difference to the team dynamics. On every interview, I always ask myself the following questions. Can I trust this person? Will this person help the other team members? When I am confident to hire someone, it means that I trust that person enough to work with the other team members. The mindset I establish would always be Trusted, until proven otherwise. I mean, why would you even hire someone you can't trust? I've seen a lot of people hiring people but are too afraid to trust
