In the past few years, I have seen a rise in MacBook Pro usage in tech companies, including in Jakarta. Although pricy, MBPs are one of the primary go-to machines for tech folks around to world. The well-known butterfly-switch issues since 2016 don’t seem to prevent people from buying MBPs, which thankfully fixed for good in the recent…

Commit #8: An introvert’s take on mentoring engineers
Do you prefer reading books or listening to music over partying for your “rest time”? Or planning deliberately instead of taking spontaneous ideas when speaking in the front of a crowd? Are you feeling drained after interacting with a lot of new acquaintances, wanting to retreat? If your answer is yes, there’s a big chance…
Commit #7: Useful practices for leading an Agile team
2016 has passed, and people had different opinion on it. The internet seemed to think that 2016 is a complete disaster, though. Political turmoils, wars, death of famous figures, and our personal miseries propagated through social medias and memes. This meme depicts the thought pretty well: I got my share of miseries for 2016, but the old hymn reminded…
Commit #6: Unwrapping Swift optionals
Update 12 Oct ’16: I’ve updated the code in this post and the Xcode Playground blog post version to Swift 3! Thank you for the wait 😁 As an iOS developer, handling empty value cases in Objective-C is never easy. Let’s suppose we’re making a function that return NSString instance out of a NSDictionary: Everything seems fine, isn’t it?…
Commit #5: On choosing learning materials
For us who work on the field of software engineering (and its neighbours), it is no secret that we constantly learn new things. Driven either by need or curiosity, it seems like learning is a never ending quest for us. Some of them have direct impact to our craft, like how using Xcode’s debugger could save us from…

Commit #3 : Clean code matters
*dusting blog* *coughs* Hi there! It’s been months since my latest post commit here, work life sure can be tight 😅 After two tutorials, let’s try some different type of commit, shall we? This time, I want to share about a book that changed the way how I code. It was on my early days in…
Commit #2 : Export your *.xcarchive to *.ipa via terminal!
December last year, several Ice House clients asked for Christmas update on their app. There’s a strange case that occurred when our team tried to send old projects to the iTunesConnect using Xcode 6’s Organizer, just like this image : Our supervisor, Didiet, said this issue might be caused by the project file. The project was built on Xcode…
Commit #1 : Bash up your workspace!
It’s all started when I was assigned to develop a Rails web app with Haris as a team. He worked on the Rails side, while I’m on the HTML / CSS. It was my first time using Rails, and I barely have any experience on web development. Haris told me that there are several commands that should be…
Commit #0 : Hello, world!
Hi! My name’s Edo, and this is the first time I’m having a blog dedicated on a domain named on my own nickname (duh). This blog is intended to be a personal journal of mine on learning to be a better mobile developer. I’ll try to post things that I’ve learned along the way (at least,…
