 | How did you begin programming and at what age? Saya mulai mempelajari bahasa pemrograman saat tahun pertama di perkuliahan. Ketika itu saya berumur 17 tahun dan kebetulan saya kuliah di jurusan Teknik Informatika |
 | What languages do you code, and in what platforms? Bahasa pemrograman pertama yang saya kenal adalah Basic untuk platform DOS.

 | When you check out code you wrote time ago, what's the main difference with respect to code that you write nowadays? Belajar adalah pengalaman yang berharga.

 | How do you protect your computer from viruses? I'm using Network Associates & it just fine... |
 | In social settings, do people become interested when you tell them you are a software developer? Ask the audience... Not me |
 | Do you work alone or in a team? Which do you prefer? Pastilah di team, secara kerja gag terlalu berat dgn asumsi skill personel udah pro. Kalo gag pro, mending "single fighter" lah |
 | Are you one of the first to update to new software when it comes out, or do you normally wait until more stable versions appear? 50 - 50. It just depends on situation, but I prefer to wait until it stable |
 | What is your main reason for not meeting project deadlines? Biar kerjanya gag buru2. |
