Going slow and mindful

Yang deket ama mungkin udah tau cerita dibalik perusahaan yang gw bangun 5 tahun lalu.

2023 Dinner gathering with ex-makanmana creator and my brother with his team who run CIE.co



Yes, a lot less. I'm leaving Mana Aktiva on 1 Dec 2023 officially, starting Makanmana (makanmana.net) and Eventmana (eventmana.id) again, with my long time partner Bobby and couple of teammate who believe in us.

I'm going bootstrap with small team, less stress, more agile decision and action.


And let's see where 2024 will bring us.

Thank you WordPress & Happy Birthday Ma.tt

Hard to imagine I've been blogging for 17 years, and that's not including blogging from Blogger since 2005 (my old site eltepedia.blogspot.com)

My primary site (makanmana.net), running WordPress since 1.x and glad I invested in this platform and CMS. It was hacked couple times before I could manage to monetize and moved it to WordPress.com platform. A bit more pricey but then I save all the hassle optimizing performance and focus more on writing instead.

One blog I still regularly follow is Ma.tt, the founder of WordPress, although I guess he's too busy now the site hasn't got regular theme update like it used to.

Anyway, if you're reading this Matt, I just wanna say thank you for all the gift to the open source community. Calypso project seemed impossible in the beginning, and learning curve was steep, but after getting my hands dirty on FSE, this is really something remarkable.

Happy New Year & First post in 2024!

What a time to be alive. Posting from my mobile, and boy how time flies!

Lots have happened for the past 7 years of blogging absence and I'll post the story gradually again.

phew, feels good.
