Capitalism is terrible all around, but there’s one think I hate the most as a proletarian: having to negotiate PTO dates (aka asking for permission).

📢 PSA: This is your periodic reminder to always change your resolution to 720p whenever you’re screen sharing in a presentation (or something around that).

After years weighting my coffee with a regular kitchen scale, I bought the Hario CST-2000-B. Game changer. The fact you can see the ratio and required water on screen is amazing. No math required!

That’s dumb! Do not create friction without a reason (whatever reason, it won’t make sense because this worked for more than 15 years now). 🙄

Got ollama running with qwen2.5-coder:14b on my nvidia 4070 TI. It works, generated code is overall good, but it’s sooooo much slower than using something like Claude Code. Also aider gets nowhere close to Claude’s CLI experience.

Will try to implement the same feature using a smaller model to see how faster it gets.

Started receiving dozens of emails from Zendesk for services I never interacted with.

Somebody screwed up a SQL query there. 😬💀

The enshittification of the workplace starts when you’re becoming an “enterprise”. Everything related to that just makes our lives miserable. Someone enabled SSO on Github and is the one change I’m hating the most lately. 😵🪦

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…

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.
