Commentary

What he posted

He posted it at about 16:20 WIB on 8 November 2026, in the “Indonesia Threads” community, with a follow-up in “Tech Threads”. He named Alvin Prayuda Juniarta Dwiyantoro, a Google Cloud developer relations engineer speaking at DevFest Jakarta 2026, as “strongly suspected” of cancelling his registration for the event, called him “such a coward” for blocking him on LinkedIn and asked “on the way to a somasi??”. In the follow-up he complained “I got blocked” and said he “wanted to have a phone call”.

Context

The email he showed, from GDG Jakarta on 24 October 2026, says only that “your registration has been cancelled by the organizer”. The same day he was removed from the WhatsApp group of another online talk (ev-20261108-007).

Observations

  • A suspicion with no basis shown. The email names no person. Nothing he shows connects Alvin, one of the speakers, to the decision.
  • Blocking as cowardice. He treats a stranger blocking him as an offence, then floats a legal notice.
  • His employer and community, tagged. He tagged Google, GDG Jakarta and GDG Cloud Jakarta, the organisers of the event, along with programming communities and educators.
  • “Fired from AWS?!” His own AI poster shows a crowd pointing at him with labels such as “just a vibe coder”, “incompetent” and “fired from AWS?!”, casting the criticism of him as a mob.
