Capres Pilihan

 Posted on map[Count:June 21, 2014]  |  Batista Harahap

Ini bukan blog post tentang siapa yang lebih unggul dari kedua pasangan Capres & Cawapres. Sama sekali tidak bermaksud untuk bilang yang satu lebih kurang dibanding yang lain, tidak. Ini adalah sesuatu yang sangat personal untuk saya karena selama 5 tahun ke depan kepada pasangan terpilih, masa depan saya dan keluarga ada di tangan pasangan tersebut. Profesi saya di dunia teknologi mengajarkan bahwa kemampuan saya untuk dapat berkembang tidak mengenal batasan. [Read More]

SSL Audit - Top Indonesian Websites

 Posted on map[Count:June 26, 2013]  |  Batista Harahap

I came across Qualys SSL Labs a few minutes ago while reading through Hacker News. Immediately triggered my interest to question how secure top websites in Indonesia when it comes to their SSL. Urbanesia Since I am at Urbanesia, the first goto is clear. Typed in Urbanesia.com and the initial audit result was needs more work. So the audit results came back as a B. The server didn't mitigate BEAST attack and that's the main reason the grade was dropped. [Read More]

Products & Technology

 Posted on map[Count:August 25, 2012]  |  Batista Harahap

Tons of blogs and various other reading sources discuss about products & technology across different perspectives and also geographically. What may be successful in one country (area) could be successful in other places or it may fail horribly. The point is, products are hand made using technology as its driver, a fact that is always true anywhere in the world. So what’s the deal here in Indonesia? Usually between products & technology, they both play catch up with each other depending on the product owner’s focus. [Read More]

This has been a fun day of basketball with the guys. I can’t find myself to sleep at this hour because after a few years of never exercising and or playing any kind of sports, I was too drained. So here I am writing a blog post about something Rama and me talked about before we played. About a week ago, I caught up with Ariel and Okto at Setiabudi One to have some geek talks. [Read More]

Startup Belly

 Posted on map[Count:October 20, 2011]  |  Batista Harahap

These past few weeks, I’ve been indulging myself into reading numerous articles both local and abroad about Startups. Most of the articles are written by people from outside the startup bubble looking inside. This boils down into again, Perspective. I’m sure everyone has got something to say about startups, so do I lol. I am part of a Startup that has gone through significant changes internally. I say significant because it’s a different beast since I first joined. [Read More]

The Indonesian Digital Landscape From a Developer's Point of View

 Posted on map[Count:September 25, 2011]  |  Batista Harahap

These past few months I had spent my days developing, I’ve been out from the digital community for quite a while. Only a few meetups with light discussions were my extracurricular activities, the rest was mostly spent learning on new platforms and new mindsets. It’s been more than a year since my first introduction to the digital community in Indonesia. StartupLokal was the first amongst many. Nowadays, I haven’t attended the monthly meetups due to conflicting schedules. [Read More]

Indonesia is Internet Literate - FOR SURE!

 Posted on map[Count:November 12, 2010]  |  Batista Harahap

It has been a full week! Had a lot of code refactorings, Obama, #StartupLokal and most definitely inspiration. The more I explore the business of being online in Indonesia, the more I realized that Indonesia is a market unique, vast, consumptive and most importantly very open to new ideas. You can’t see how open Indonesia is offline-wise, in the online world, Indonesia is not only the next big thing, it is the big thing! [Read More]
