  • Agentic Wars

    Back in May 2023 I wrote this pensata I named “GPT Wars”, and it has pulled in a lot of views from various sources. This year we are facing a new type of war — and it seems that many are still to come in this arena — an agentic war, a war of agents.…

  • Just Ask It

    It’s just statistics. Children with one dedicated teacher evolves faster than children with shared teachers. Answers to children are the success factor. AI is the universal know-it-all teacher. Just ask it.

  • This Movie will Change as You Do

    This Movie will Change as You Do

    The Wolf of Wall Street is a great movie. To me, DiCaprio’s best performance by far and kudos to his agent for crafting this opportunity with Scorsese and the producers. If you are a manager or a business person, and if you have watched this movie more than once you might have noticed that some…

  • Visibilidade e Responsabilidade

    Visibilidade e Responsabilidade

    Esse tema nunca foi tão atual. Em tempos de trabalho home based, a visibilidade é prejudicada e, com ela, a responsabilidade pela entrega do trabalho. Imagino aqueles que vivem sozinhos sem ter uma viva alma por perto para lhe impor algum tipo de olhar. Nesse contexto, não só a responsabilidade pelo trabalho fica comprometida, mas…

  • Who am I? (AI)

    Who am I? (AI)

    I saw this post from Santiago this morning, a topic that I have anticipated in my thinking and essays for at least two years now. If digital intelligence can easily copy our looks and tone of voice, the final step in the process of creating a realistic copy of ourselves that could be expressed in…

  • The Computer is the Bicycle of the Mind

    Steve Jobs, 1990.

  • Good Music Ages Well

    Listening to good music when you are young, in adolescence for example, is one thing. You barely have a hobby and certainly don’t work. You haven’t had the chance yet to experience the “pull” of a working profession. The motivation that makes you observe things, copy or improve them. It’s a mix of feeling and…

  • Writing Sentences

    Writing Sentences

    I like Charles Bukowski. I like his books and writing style. He writes mostly using short sentences. I try to imitate that style here in this website. I just try, because it’s hard. Ideally speaking, sentences should only break one line before it stops. Breaking two lines is like taking two street corners around the…

  • MVP, Technical Debt and Rebuids

    I no longer believe in the idea of building a half-baked MVP in order to launch it faster. The cost of rebuilding is disturbing to me. Rebuilds often happen with the main product live in production, which of course generate ongoing support and run of the mill operations. Chances are that the rebuild and operations…

  • MVC

    The MVC is a design pattern. Yes, it is. At the most fundamental level, in my experience, is like the artist positioning the canvas at a certain distance, holding the palette and the brushes. Having all those elements at hand ready to be used with consistency across the entire work process. From this point onward,…
