Hi!
I’m Dery, a software engineer at Gojek.
I created this website as a place to document my journey — both in career and life. I write about things I learn, build, and think about, with a particular focus on software engineering, while occasionally writing about other things that interest me.
Some of my articles are also published on Medium.
You can find me on GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads.
Build a System Not Just A Goal
A half of the year has been passed. Some has got lost their commitment for the goal they’ve set in the beginning of the year. I observed this phenomenon as common yet unusual thing that might lead to frustration to some people. The goal is there for a direction, it answers what, but doesn’t answering precisely for the how part. That’s a common reason the goal seems unattainable. For me, I never glorify the goal, as the goal itself is useless if we didn’t do whatever need to do. Instead, it is better to focus on building a system. A system that works so well that failing to achieve the goal is almost impossible.
Transcendence
I believe there’s some laws / rules which we, as human are not capable of surpass it.
