I call them high-talkers. Not because their voice is loud. But because the way they speak feels like an invitation to summit Mount Everest… without gear, without a map, and without any physical preparation whatsoever. And ironically, I run into this type most often in IT projects. https://najib.id/en/writing/2026/loosening-rules-and-consequences/ Tue, 28 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000 https://najib.id/en/writing/2026/loosening-rules-and-consequences/ So anyway, in the middle of April I typed out a fairly long message in a WhatsApp group for my students. It was about GitHub Education, a GitHub program that gives free access to a collection of developer tools for enrolled students and educators. Among those tools: GitHub Copilot. An AI assistant well-known in developer circles as a useful coding partner, with autocomplete, code review, and even writing chunks of code on its own. https://najib.id/en/writing/2023/first-experience-of-online-thesis-defense/ Mon, 24 Jul 2023 17:32:00 +0700 https://najib.id/en/writing/2023/first-experience-of-online-thesis-defense/ The final project or thesis defense is a memorable moment for many students. Including me. Especially when it’s done online for the first time. Offline and the Jinx #It all started from a joke among us (me and my boarding house friends) right when exam week was about to end. “Hey, after midterms there are still five days left, you guys aren’t going home to your hometown first, are you?” said my friend from Jakarta. https://najib.id/en/writing/2023/thesis-defense-and-the-third-degrees-journey/ Sun, 23 Jul 2023 18:55:34 +0700 https://najib.id/en/writing/2023/thesis-defense-and-the-third-degrees-journey/ Alhamdulillah thanks to the pleasure of Allah SWT, the prayers of family and friends, I completed my thesis defense on July 21, 2023 for the third time in my life. So, this is the story… Idle Questions and Encouragement from Parents #It all started when my lectures were about to enter the second semester. According to campus regulations, the process of changing academic advisors would be carried out. It is the thesis supervisor who will become the academic advisor for the students they supervise.
