Be a 10% Engineer with AI
Jatim Developer Day 2025, 25 October 2025
Working ~10% of the time, achieving ~100% of the output
I’ve spoken at local and international events and been interviewed in a few podcasts.
One of my favorite ways to share my ideas is live on stage, where there’s so much more communication bandwidth than there is in writing, and I love podcast interviews because they give me the opportunity to answer questions instead of just present my opinions.
