Commentary

He published it on YouTube on 6 September 2026. Minute links open the video at that point.

  • Speed scores as a rebuttal. Answering Ibrahim Arief’s remark that he lacks “a fraction of AWS skills”, he compares the PageSpeed scores of the KawalIbam site and his own, “99 against” Ibrahim’s lower score, and says he could “beat AWS” with servers at home (minute 0–3).
  • “Lame.” He ends: “Bam Samson, you’ve got no skills. When it comes to it, your engineering skill is lame. Didn’t even get into FAANG” (minute 3). Ibrahim Arief was formerly a CTO; the video’s own title calls him “ex-CTO BUMN”.
