Embracing #nobuild in Modern Web
GDG DevFest Yogyakarta 2024, 1 December 2024
A deep dive on the #nobuild movement in the modern web development.
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.
