“Hackathons are how marketing guys wish software were made. However, to make good software, requires lots of thought, trial and error, evaluation, iteration, trying the ideas out on other users, learning, thinking, more trial and error, and on and on. At some point you say it ain’t perfect, but it’s useful, so let’s ship. That process, if the software is to be any good, doesn’t happen in 24 hours. Sometimes it takes years, if the idea is new enough.”

- Dave Winner

Instead of doing a hackathon, do a regularly scheduled Code Jam. Get a bunch of developers together to show each other what new idea they have and for that day do something on that new idea in 24 hour. For a hackathon, this stop when the event stop. With a Code Jam, get together again in 1 or 2 week and show the same people again what progress you have made and what problem you solved during that period. Do this regularly, and keep progressing on the idea, or work with a new idea. This kind of event would be great for a platform because people can deliver a real finished product and build the knowledge together.

Handling Permission

Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:12:08 +0700

Dailysocial brought this up, whether Android user should be concerned about contact list abuse. The problem with asking permission first when installing the apps, like Android did, is that most people will just plainly ignore the written text and install the apps anyway. Just like nobody ever read a text put into Setup Wizard on Windows.

The correct way, I think, to handle permission is to asked it when the data is accessed, the way location services on iOS handle it. Because user will be more aware about what kind of permission the application is asking and can respond to it right then and there.

“Apapun persepsi kita atas cinta, tak ada salahnya bersiap untuk senantiasa berubah. Jika hidup ini cair maka wadah hanyalah cara kita untuk memahami yang tak terpahami. Banyak cara untuk mewadahi air, finit mencoba merangkul infinit, tapi wadah bukan segalanya. Pelajaran yang dikandungnyalah yang tak berbatas dan selamanya tak bertuan, yang satu saat menghanyutkan dan melumerkan carik-carik selebaran yang kita puja. Siap tak siap, rela tak rela.”

On Management

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:13:20 +0700

What Joel Spolsky wrote on http://www.avc.com/a_vc/2012/02/the-management-team-guest-post-from-joel-spolsky.html I think is applicable to all company. The point that needed to be paid attention is

Hire Smart People.
Give the smart people that you hire real authority.
Management is there to help smart people do their job, not preventing them from doing it.
You’re not Steve Jobs, so stop thinking and micromanaging like him.
Once again, you’re not Steve Jobs, stop wearing those black turtleneck sweater and New Balance snickers.

"We mistake dumb luck for a machine that produces success. We rely on induction when we should rely..."

Tue, 14 Feb 2012 10:27:00 +0700

“

We mistake dumb luck for a machine that produces success. We rely on induction when we should rely on deduction, and then, having realized our mistake, we lean on “data-driven decisions” in lieu of common sense. We chase patterns that aren’t there and miss eager markets right in front of us. All this while projecting the confidence, real or manufactured, that’s necessary to play the game.

I don’t know what makes a good business. It seems like it helps to have a good idea, great people, the willingness to work hard, and an absolute shit-ton of luck. Being certain about much beyond that seems, well, a bit crazy to me.

I’m not a business person too, but all in all, working harder and smarter from everyone else always brings the best result.

Adele: One and Only | Vogue

“Adele is not rock-’n’-roll. She is not self-consciously retro. She does not shimmy or shake. Hers is a plant-the-feet-and-belt delivery that has all but disappeared from the pop landscape. It should be deeply uncool. And yet, there is something startlingly refreshing about her youthful elegance and commanding presence—especially because she is a 23-year-old Cockney girl from Tottenham.”

Foxconn's workers in context

Wed, 01 Feb 2012 10:15:16 +0700

Foxconn's workers in context:

aulia-m:

The working conditions at Foxconn has been the subject of much discussion and outrage over the last few days following the New York Times exposé. Apple has since bore the majority, if not the full, brunt of the criticisms for allowing what looks to be a sweatshop full of suicides with workers earning very little while making iProducts despite other consumer electronics companies also employing Foxconn to do their manufacturing and assembly.

What everybody has missed on however, is context. Thanks to Tim Worstall at Forbes, we now have that context and even better, there’s a clear infographic to illustrate that if you can’t be bothered reading Worstall’s counter argument. I had to link to Worstall’s entire blog instead of the infographic post since Forbes seems to have messed up the link but I’ll embed it for you.

This is actually the craziest chart about Apple following their insane earnings today.

There is exactly one company on that entire list that is not an oil and gas company. And they’re not that far from the top.

Ultrabook Rules

Tue, 24 Jan 2012 07:56:13 +0700

∞ Ultrabook Rules:

I actually wonder when the last time a computer manufacturer, not named Apple, gave a damn about making a computer that made lives easier. Think about it: they don’t make the software, just the hardware — and yet that’s the part that seems like utter crap.

To put it another way: if Apple hadn’t made version 2 of the MacBook Air a wild success, would any other PC manufacturer care to try and make a competing product — one that Intel is begging them to make?

I doubt it. And that’s the problem.

(Via The Brooks Review)

Exactly the problem. Early last year I decided to sell my late 2007 MacBook Black, and decided to look around for a viable alternative. One came as the obvious choice, which is the latest MacBook Air. Seeing that the machine will be used mainly on a Windows environment at the office, I thought why not try and find the newly hyped ultra book instead. So I did, and let me tell you the obvious. I end up purchasing the obvious MacBook Air, because I can’t find a good enough build quality with the same price point as the new 11” MacBook Air. The trackpad and keyboards are the main issue. The other manufacturer doesn’t seem to care enough to the main interface user’s have with the machine, that is the problem.

“Also worth noting that in music, Apple didn’t kill the incumbents. The major music labels are still around making money from sales on iTunes. I think you can argue that Apple saved the major labels — that without iTunes, bootleg filesharing would’ve put them under. It’s true that the labels resent Apple, and dream of a hypothetical world where they make money as they did during the CD era. But people in hell want ice water — that doesn’t mean they can get it.”

I love this footnote from John Gruber, digital revolution is inevitable. “Peole in hell want ice water — that doesn’t mean they can get it”
