Hey, I’m
I’m a web developer trying to figure out this weird thing called the internet. I write about development, the web, games, music, and whatever else I feel like writing about!
I was born and raised in Brazil, living amongst the vineyards of Serra Gaúcha. I built my first website when I was 9, then got sidetracked by video games and started learning development for real when I was 17. I fell in love with building things for the web and now, 12 years later, I feel like I’ve done a bit of everything.
Lately, I’ve been working on taking companies’ online presence to the next level at Useful Group, playing video games and looking for cool things to write about here.
Things might look a little wonky or keep changing - that’s because this site is still under construction. I’m probably tinkering with something right now.
You're still welcome to look around, though!

I think it’s worth noting that when people don’t seem interested in the distinction between real and not real it may not be that they don’t care about what’s real. It may be that their capacity, their energy, their ability to distinguish is less than yours.
A very heartfelt piece about information burnout.
Ever wondered why, in software development, a group of characters is called a “string”? This won’t provide you the answer, but will make it easier to understand.

This is not the type of music I usually listen to, but if Aurora does something, I’m gonna give it a try. Pretty enjoyable from start to finish, I can see this being perfect for dancing in a club but I really like it as high-energy background music for doing stuff in the computer. Highlights are “A Boy Like You”, “Somewhere Else”, and the extremely catchy “Ring the Alarm”.
10,000-watt GPU meet 40-watt lump of meat
We may have tools that allow us be “100x more productive” now, but our brain is the same lump of meat it was thousands of years ago. What happens when it can no longer keep track of the things we are doing?
This bottleneck is what’s happening in our brains. When you ask a machine to build infinite apps, it will do that. When you ask a machine that generates more tasks, it will do that. […] You didn’t fix the bottleneck, you moved it downstream.

At the end of the chain of 10,000-watt GPUs sitting in a data center in Iowa is the 40-watt lump of meat inside your skull. It’s an incredible, efficient, miraculous lump of meat that has millions of years of bio-engineering behind it… but understanding is the new bottleneck. If brains are a scarce resource, then we should take care to not over-produce inventory.
Basilica di Sant'Andrea
This basilica was built in 1227 (though the cloister in the picture was rebuilt in the 1400s), and has largely stayed the same since then.
Taken in Vercelli, Italy.
The new Amazônia Logo (and brand)
The Brazilian Amazon now has a brand and a logo, with the intent of promoting the 9 states it occupies as a tourist destination! And wow, that logo is a thing of beauty.
The entire branding is pretty neat, but the logo is especially stunning. Each letter is based on real curves of the Amazon river (the longest river in the world), and each letter is also from a different state! Great taste and great execution, here. And all made in Brazil. 🇧🇷
And not only the logo, but they also made a type font called Igaratype, and you can play around and let the Amazon river spell out whatever you want in this live playground.

Robert Eggers knows just how to transport you into not only a different time, but into all the brutality and supernatural aspects of its folklore. What a great movie, even if (thankfully) all the masculine energy it exhales is not my cup of tea.
World of Warcraft - Midnight

So much squandered potential. Warcraft has an incredibly rich lore, hundreds of memorable characters, and they even had an entire expansion before to build up to this one. And then proceeded to tell the most boring story ever. What’s worse, they even committed the crime of making the player character have no place in it. Seriously, who thought it’d be a good idea to have a story in which the player factions (Horde and Alliance) don’t even show up?
Gameplay is still fun because it’s WoW, but gosh what a narrative trainwreck.

One of the small things that surprised me the most after moving from Brazil to Italy is how the seasons of the year are very clearly defined over here.

Fantastic. Incredible. The soundtrack alone would make any movie good, but pair with amazing visuals and an incredibly interesting story? Heck yeah!
