Independência e Liberdade
Hoje é dia 7 de setembro, dia em que comemoramos no Brasil o aniversário da proclamação da nossa independência com Portugal. “Independência ou morte!” — é a palavra de ordem que aprendemos na escola desde criancinhas quando o assunto é 7 de setembro. E para muita gente a palavra independência é sinônimo de liberdade. Será?…

Aposentados? Talvez.
Comecei a trabalhar profissionalmente em 1993 aos 18 anos de idade. Empresa de tecnologia. Mainframes. É sério. Meus colegas que era “seniores” tinham pelo menos 45 anos de idade. Alguns, 50 e tantos anos. Quando entrei na Infor, antes SSA Global Technologies, tinha 28 anos e a idade média do funcionário era 38 anos. Impressionante.…

Start with admin.*
I remember the influence of “Getting Real” — the book from the folks at 37 Signals — in my early web development projects back in the day. The message was simple and clear: start at the core process of the application, preferrably at the UI level, and then expand both sideways to other connecting processes…

Start as Early as Possible
by Brivael Every single one of the brightest people I’ve run into over the last few years realized the exact same thing at the exact same time: the degree system is a Ponzi scheme.

When Aikido was introduced in Brazil, it had inherited local rules from the Judo federation back then,…

Virtually Immortals
Immortality is a difficult concept. For the men of faith, it is achieved in the afterlife. For the skeptical, it is an unreachable dream. Well, not until yesterday at least. I watched a podcast with a Harvard alumni telling that one of his professors signed up for a project in which the university will use…

My Friends are Afraid
My friends are afraid of almost everything. They are afraid of the machine. They are afraid of the wind in their hair. They are afraid of their own hearts. They are afraid of losing time. They are afraid of not having lunch at the same time every day. They are afraid of getting sweat. They…

Latência do DNS como Fator Arquitetural em SaaS no Brasil
Recentemente soube (via @ayubio) que em algumas regiões do Brasil uma simples consulta a um resolvedor DNS recursivo externo — tipo o 8.8.8.8 do Google ou o 1.1.1.1 do Cloudflare — pode levar mais de 150ms. Isso muda consideravelmente o jogo quando você está decidindo entre arquiteturas como SPA (Single Page Application) e SSR (Server-Side…

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.
