@radjathaher Kerenn banget mas!

I find it so wild you have American billionaires who helped create modern Silicon Valley talk with governments (for free!) and literally telling them what to do in how to create bilions to trillions in GDP for their countries (again for free!) and their answer is they instead prefer to keep the bureaucratic overregulated stagnancy train going

It just proves that incentives for governments in most of the world are completely misaligned from actually making their countries better and their people happier which was their primary function to begin with!

On a micro level I kind of have this with certain people I met

You give them the textbook instructions on how to make money on the internet from your own 10+ years of experience

And they will listen and then gladly go against it and just fully ignore what you said and keep on failing and not making a single $

I think the main thing AI has taught me, through all the time savings it brings, is that I’m not a very interesting person

Faced with a surplus of free time, I realize I don’t really have hobbies besides content consumption

I’m forced to conclude that I don’t have very deep friendships, and am not a core member of any particular community

I’m not very cultured, I’m finding, and don’t have abiding interests in art or literature or history or much that isn’t directly related to my work

I have a work-centric life, in other words. AI pulls back the curtain on just how impoverished such an existence is, by disabusing me of its necessity

Given the freedom I’ve always said I wanted, I’m at a loss as to what to do with it, except plow myself even harder into work, thus exacerbating the lesson

There’s nothing more confronting to humans than freedom

Well. We just need to win.

Jangan buang waktu lo di conference & networking events.

Gue udah ke puluhan tech events di Amerika & Indo, dan most of them gak worth it.

Lo ke event itu buat ketemu top founders & VCs, tapi mereka gak ada di sana. They won't network with random people.

Jadi gimana caranya network with the top 1%?

Do top 1% things.

Pas gue baru masuk dunia tech, gue suka build random apps and post them on X & Instagram. Lama2 ada yang viral, dan tau2 the top 1% of founders mulai reach out sendiri ke gue.

Build interesting things, post them online, and your network will appear

One guy. One Navy ship. One file. 1 trillion databases.
He built it alone in 2000. And gave it away forever. 🤯

Meet D. Richard Hipp 🇺🇸

> American developer. Born 1961 in North Carolina.
> In 2000, working as a contractor on a US Navy destroyer.
> Got frustrated with bulky databases that needed servers and setup.
> Built SQLite in his spare time ~ a single-file database engine.
> No server. No installation. No configuration. Just one file.
> 25 years later, every iPhone, Android, Mac, and Windows PC runs SQLite.
> Powers Chrome, Firefox, Safari, WhatsApp, iMessage, Skype.
> Runs inside Tesla cars and commercial airplanes. 🚀
> Over 1 trillion SQLite databases active worldwide today.
> Put the entire codebase in the public domain. Zero royalties forever.
> Trillion-dollar companies use his code. He's never charged a cent.
> Still maintains it full-time with a tiny team of 3.
> Pledged free support and updates until at least 2050.
> No VC money. No acquisitions. No spotlight. Just code.

Every app on your phone runs his invisible masterpiece.
Most engineers build for fame. He built for forever.

Database GOAT. 🐐

last week marked 4 years since we tragically lost our cofounder and CTO

Andrew Platkin was one of a kind 🖤

I can't help but smile back at his photo on my desk. he'd be so proud to see where we are today

Spirit Airlines died tonight at the hands of the socialist crusader, Elizabeth Warren

She must be so proud to add another casket to her achievements.

Tonight at 3am, Spirit turns off the lights. 14,000 jobs gone. 30+ smaller airports lose service.

JetBlue offered $3.8 BILLION in cash to buy Spirit in 2022. Shareholders, flight attendants union, literally everyone voted yes.

The combined company would have held 9% of the US market against a Big 4 that already owned 80%.

For anyone who understands numbers: 9% isn’t a monopoly against 80%.

Warren said no.

She wrote letters. She pressured Buttigieg. Biden’s DOJ sued. A federal judge killed the deal in January 2024.

Her argument: the merger would cost consumers $1 billion a year.

Now look at her collateral damage she dusts under the rug.

510 pilots gone in the months after. 1,800 flight attendants furloughed in December.

14,000 jobs in 2023. 7,500 last week. Zero tonight.

And that’s just the people in Spirit uniforms.

Catering goes. Fuel guys go. Baggage crews, gate agents, airport coffee shops, hotels and rental cars in 70 cities Spirit flew to. Every airline job carries 3 more on its back.

40,000 people out of work because of one woman’s moronic crusade against the market.

And the math ain’t mathing.

Spirit abandoned 90 routes during the death spiral. Fares on those routes are up 14% on average. Oakland to Newark: $135 to $288. Fort Myers to San Juan: $92 to $219. Kansas City to Newark up 66%.

That’s reality. Not some BS number from a “study.”

So @SenWarren tell me how this saves the consumer money?

Cheap carriers in a market drop fares 21% across the board. Southwest did this in the 90s and saved Americans $68 BILLION over 20 years.

Warren killed it. That’s what moronic politicians led by socialism do.

Then with her own blind arrogance, she tweeted Spirit’s collapse is “a Biden win for flyers.”

A win.

14,000 people are reading termination letters tonight.

And she’s taking credit.

This is socialism in 2026.

A senator who’s never made payroll thinks she knows how to run a market better than the people who own and work in the company.

She saved you a billion on imaginary paper.

She cost you ten times that in real life.

She didn’t protect consumers from anything.

14,000+ will go from working to welfare.

She will make sure to blame billionaires, hardworking tax payers, AI, capitalism and whatever monster they will make up tomorrow hiding under your bed.

Higher taxes. Fewer jobs. More expensive everything.

She called it a win. I hope you enjoy winning.

@raysofflight @radjathaher Apakah boleh di share beritanya Tempo di sini kak?

And by "bisa akses" ini maksudnya akses informasi mengenai brp duit di rekening kita kan ya? Bukan seperti krisis tahun 2007 dimana bank bisa "invest" saving kita?
