@myXL , plis banget ya kualitas jaringannya jelek banget. Sebulan terakhir makin lemoooot. Baru banget isi kuota puluhan GB juga lemoot. Udah sampe reboot HP berkali kali pun lemot. Ga cuma di hp saya aja, di yang lain jugaa. Mau pindah area juga samaaa. Ini kenapa ya?
Halo @ShopeeID , kalau ga bisa fasilitasi layanan food delivery karena kekurangan driver atau apa, mending dinonaktifin aja sekalian. Estimasi pengiriman juga jadi 70-80 menit dari yang biasanya30-40 menitan (untuk resto yang sama, bukan jam makan). Ga jelaasss.
Life lesson nomor sekian: ga usah semangat banget kasih masukan/ide buat event yang bukan kita sendiri yang initiate. Yang usulin acara siapaaa, yang repot mikir konsepnya siapaaa.
Gw punya temen namanya si A, tinggal di Bekasi kerja di Sudirman.
Senin sampai Jumat rutinitasnya sama terus.
Bangun setengah lima pagi.
Siap siap.
Berangkat sebelum jam enam karena kalau kesiangan macetnya tidak manusiawi.
Sampai kantor jam tujuh.
Kerja sampai jam lima sore.
Sampai rumah jam tujuh atau delapan malam.
Dua jam lebih di jalan.
Tiap hari.
Pulang pergi.
Dan ini bukan keluhan dia ini memang realita yang dijalani jutaan orang yang tinggal di penyangga Jakarta setiap harinya.
Jadi waktu weekend datang orang lain mungkin langsung mikir mau hangout ke mana.
Si A mikir hal yang berbeda.
Sabtu pagi dia bangun siang.
Tidak ada alarm.
Tidak ada jadwal.
Buka Netflix yang episodenya sudah lama tidak dilanjutin.
Siapkan snack.
Dan tidak kemana mana sampai Minggu malam.
Dan dia bahagia.
Genuinely bahagia.
Bukan karena dia antisosial.
Bukan karena tidak punya teman.
Tapi karena dia paham persis apa yang paling dia butuhkan setelah lima hari menguras energi di jalan dan di kantor.
Kita hidup di kota yang desainnya tidak ramah waktu. Jarak rumah ke tempat kerja yang tidak masuk akal. Transportasi yang belum cukup untuk semua orang. Dan budaya kerja yang masih menganggap hadir lebih awal dan pulang paling telat sebagai tanda dedikasi.
Akibatnya banyak orang yang secara fisik ada di rumah tapi energinya sudah habis sebelum sampai pintu.
Dan weekend bukan lagi soal hiburan atau eksplorasi.
Tapi soal pemulihan.
Jadi kalau ada yang nanya memang ada orang yang genuinely senang di rumah seharian sendirian tanpa ketemu siapapun?
Jawabannya ada.
Banyak malah.
Dan mereka bukan aneh atau kurang pergaulan.
Mereka cuma orang yang sudah terlalu lelah oleh perjalanan yang bahkan belum dimulai sebelum matahari benar benar terbit.
kalo di indonesia..
โboring businessโ ny mungkin ini ya:
- pangkalan LPG
- depot air minum isi ulang
- laundry kiloan / self-service
- toko kelontong / warung sembako
- jasa cuci mobil & motor
- tambal ban / vulkanisir
- jasa bor sumur
- jasa sedot WC & septik tank
- service AC & maintenance
- pest control / basmi hama
- grosir kardus bekas & kemasan plastik
- rental genset
- supplier pasir-batu-batu split lokal
- warteg / nasi rames harian
- toko baut-mur-kabel listrik eceran
kayaknya ini lumayan stabil, repeat order tinggi, dan jarang sepi pelanggan. (*tergantung banyak faktor)
pilih aja yang cocok sama lokasi & modalmu.
Karena aku baca koran (hampir) tiap hari, aku jadi tahu para statistician BPS itu juga mengkritisi penerjemahan data mereka.
Misalnya ini:
โก๏ธ Ketahanan pangan nggak bisa diukur HANYA dari naiknya produksi pangan atau nggak adanya impor
โก๏ธ Angka pengangguran turun bukan artinya terserap ke sektor โamanโ, justru banyak pekerja informal yg nggak terlindungi haknya
Mirip kayak dua buku ini:
1๏ธโฃ How to Lie with Statistics: teknik manipulasi angka, grafik, dan data untuk memenangkan argumen atau menyesatkan publik tanpa perlu โbohongโ
2๏ธโฃ The Tiger that Isnโt: melatih common sense untuk mengenali manipulasi data
Tonight at Walmart, I watched a 5 year old boy ask a little girl if he could hug her because he liked her sweater.
She said, "No."
He smiled, "Okay! I like your sweater. Bye!" and ran back to his dad.
To his dad, he proudly said:
"I didn't hug her because she said no... but I told her I liked her sweater!"
His dad replied, "Cool, buddy!"
'...and they
went on shopping.
If a 5-year-old boy can understand consent and respect a "No," then so can every adult.
My 14-year-old is upset that @KaiCenat isnโt streaming anymore.
For those who donโt follow: Kai is one of the most successful streamers in the world - young, wildly popular, and very wealthy - whoโs stepping back to focus on education and personal growth.
I told my son this is admirable.
Walking away from something lucrative to pursue purpose takes maturity.
Purpose is more satisfying than money. And choosing to keep learning, publicly, is a powerful example.
Iโm rooting for him.
Spent an hour trying to make AI fix a Supabase auth issue.
Fed it the docs. Explained the context.
Nothing worked.
Every new prompt โyouโre absolutely right I shouldโveโฆ.โ then goes ahead to do the same rubbish.
Got mad and swore at it.
Read the docs myself. Fixed it in under 15 minutes.
This is whatโs supposed to replace engineers? Come off it.
My manager asked how long it would take to fix the bug.
I said two weeks.
It took forty minutes.
But now I have two weeks of buffer.
That's called experience.
Here's how it works.
Every estimate I give has a multiplier. The multiplier depends on who's asking.
My manager asks: multiply by 4.
A VP asks: multiply by 6.
The CEO asks: multiply by 10 and add "dependencies."
Dependencies are other teams. Other teams are always slow. Even when they're not involved. Especially when they're not involved.
Nobody checks.
The bug took forty minutes. I fixed it Monday morning.
I didn't tell anyone until Thursday afternoon.
That's three days of buffer.
Buffer is protection. Protection from the next ask.
Because the moment you finish something fast, they ask for something else.
Finish the bug in an hour? Great, can you also look at this other thing?
Finish it in two weeks? Great, take the afternoon off. You earned it.
I earned it by lying about how long things take.
That's not how they'd describe it.
They'd call it "managing expectations."
I'm managing expectations.
My expectations are that I don't want to work that hard.
When I was junior, I gave honest estimates.
"That'll take about two hours."
My reward? Four more tasks that day.
Then I watched the senior engineers.
They said "end of week" for everything.
Everything was "end of week."
A config change? End of week.
A one-line fix? End of week.
A meeting that could've been an email? End of week.
They were never stressed.
I was always stressed.
I learned.
Now I'm senior. Now everything is "end of week."
Or "end of sprint."
Sprint is two weeks. Two weeks is forever. Forever is comfortable.
Sometimes someone pushes back.
"Can we do it faster? This is urgent."
I pause. I look concerned.
"Let me see what I can do."
Then I deliver in three days instead of two weeks.
I'm a hero.
I wasn't faster. I was honest about the original timeline.
But the compression makes me look dedicated.
"He really hustled on this one."
I didn't hustle. I just stopped lying for a moment.
Strategic honesty. Delivered at the right time. After enough fake delays.
The best part is nobody tracks this.
Nobody says, "He estimated two weeks but finished in forty minutes."
They say, "He finished ahead of schedule."
Ahead of schedule.
I set the schedule.
I beat the schedule I invented.
That's exceeding expectations.
I'm exceeding expectations.
My performance review says I'm "highly reliable" and "consistently delivers."
I am reliable.
I reliably estimate 10x what things take.
And I consistently deliver.
Right before my fake deadline.
That's called being senior.
New engineers burn out because they're honest.
I padded my way to work-life balance.
My manager asked why I always seem so calm.
I said, "Experience."
Experience means I've learned to lie about time.
Professionally.
With a straight face.
And a buffer that could fit a vacation.
That's engineering.
