Coming back from a vacation and being greeted with a performance review that’s already due: not fun. 😔

Tem um nazi pardo aqui do meu lado. Nessa hora eu queria ser juíz para dar uma enquadrada daquelas. Afff!

Percebi que cigarras fazem exatamente o mesmo barulho de um Tesla (🤮) dando ré. Ou vice-versa.

Meu lado lógico não acredita em loterias. O lado esperançoso acabou de fazer dois jogos para a mega-sena da virada. Vai que…

“O nordestino é tão odiado não pelo fato de ter nascido perto da linha do Equador, mas porque a população nordestina é, pelo menos, 80%, mestiça e negra.”

Terminei de ler o livro do Alcoforado, Coisa de Rico, e minha visão sobre ricos é a mesma: eat the rich, kill the rich. Que nojo!

If you stay long enough, you’ll see companies changing tools every couple of years for no clear reason.

I’m going to my 3rd performance review tool in a 6y tenure.

Same thing for project management, travel, and budget tools.

I was checking some notes for a podcast I did back in 2011. It’s related to Microsoft buying Skype for $8.5B (something like $12.5B in today’s money), the biggest acquisition ever made by Microsoft back then. This year Microsoft discontinued the service. That’s just crazy.

Hah. I still can de-drm ebooks using my old Kindle (Gen 7). Here’s to you, Amazon. 🖕

next.js is a monstrosity. It’s so soooo bad. 😵🪦☠️💀

Você sabe inglês fluente até ouvir Toy Dolls sem ver a letra.

Had to install Windows 11 in a VM today. It’s so hostile. I’d say it’s like a virus. How people can still use it?

Zed, the editor, is a joke. Extension is waiting for 2 days to have a new release pr approved. There are 58 prs awaiting.

I don’t get why people insist on centralized registries like this (or sublime text’s package control). It’s so dumb.

VScode it’s not much better, but at least you can get a new release published in a minute (this one claims to do security checks, so I give it a pass).

Given Zed is not making any security checks, it should be git repo-based. `zed extension add github/user/repo` or something. Just let people install the repo directly.

Ah, but what about search? Just create a dumb site where people can submit the git repo and you can fetch the metadata from there. Or search Github Topics directly, like `zed-extension` (open endpoint returns a lot of data without needing an API key).

9 years ago we arrived in Vancouver, Canada. We’ve been here since, and even became citizens. I’m super grateful for all the things this place has enabled us to achieve. It’s not perfect, but no place is. What a journey!

Thor having `run` as a reserved method name is the most questionable decision of the whole lib. 🤦‍♂️

2025. I hate that we need to make pull requests to make a new extension release available… zed is the one I’m hating right now. 🤦‍♂️

Feliz dia do Bostonaro preso!

I try to answer people every once in a while but get “Forbidden: you do not have permission to reply to this status”. I don’t know if it’s something weird with GoToSocial or because people blocked and/or don’t follow me back. 🤷‍♂️

I see a lot of people hating on AI tools. Energy efficiency aside, I see it as a tool. I use it a lot to do things I wouldn’t do otherwise.

Latest endeavour: I always wanted to create a gem to generate shell completion scripts for Thor CLIs (I’ve seen a few attempts to make that work, but solutions usually focused on one particular shell). With some back and forth, Claude Code was able to get something done in just a few minutes

I’d never do it myself. It’s too boring of a project.
