The movie “Ratatouille” is the purest cinematic expression of neoliberal ideology ever made.

isto faz lembrar uma piada antiga sobre superstições numerológicas
May 21
"Acredito muito na numerologia. Acho que o 6 pode trazer algo muito bom. Em 2016 Portugal ganhou o Europeu, 1966 foi o melhor resultado de sempre [em Mundiais], 2006 também meias-finais... É o momento de atingir o que Portugal merece e muito." — Roberto Martínez, via @rtppt

Very fun very chill nifty music tool, got instantly hooked with just playing around with the basics
I’ve spent years making beats on hardware, but I wanted a sampler that was as fast as opening a browser tab. So I built Mezcla 🎛️ Minimalist, web-based, and built for the producer's workflow. No DAW bloat, just chops. Try it here: mezcla.capelo.me/

Someone builds a project management tool with Claude Code over a weekend. Ships it. Tweets "just replaced Jira." The app works. One user, happy path, localhost. Then two people edit the same record simultaneously, and the data is silently corrupted. They don't know what an optimistic lock is. They never needed to before. The prototype is maybe 1% of what makes software actually work. The other 99% is what you find after real users show up: race conditions, failed transactions, sessions expiring at the wrong moment, a payment webhook that fires twice and charges someone double. AI didn't cover any of that. It built exactly what you asked for. And the confidence is the worst part. "Just need to adjust a few things before we go live." The few things you need to adjust are the product. That's like laying a foundation and telling people you basically built the house. Vibe coding works. For personal tools, throwaway scripts, and prototypes you'll never put in front of paying users, it's genuinely fast and good enough. I use it. But there's a hard ceiling, and it shows up the moment the stakes get real. Agentic engineering is a different discipline. You're not prompting for code. You're decomposing problems, designing system boundaries, writing specs precise enough that the agent doesn't go sideways. You review everything it builds, because it will make mistakes that only look wrong if you know what correct looks like. You guide it. You catch what it misses. If you don't know what a distributed transaction is, the agent won't save you. It'll generate something broken with complete confidence, and you won't know until production. The hard part of software was never writing the first 200 lines. It never was.

They care for aging parents, work in small and large companies, and harvest the food on our tables. On weekends, they walk in our parks and play on the local amateur soccer team. For me, the choice is clear. Here is my article for @nytimes: nytimes.com/2026/02/04/opini…

2026 prediction: an Ashley Madison-level breach from an AI app. Millions have handed their most personal thoughts, or all their corporate IP, to startups with 18 months of runway and a privacy policy nobody read.

Menezes diz que nos centros de cidades como Porto ou Gaia é “impossível, patético, bizarro, errado” ter ciclovias. “Não há espaço”, justifica, enquanto devolve duas vias à Avenida da República. publico.pt/2025/11/10/local/…

Vibe coding is crazy man. Met a 12yr old making $600k a month with his vibe-coded SaaS he started 4 months ago. I asked how he built so fast. He said he just made a design-doc in GPT and fed it to Cursor with Sonnet-4 and it worked first try. His goal is to get to $2M a month this year. Running everything under his Moms Stripe account. His firebase got hacked and sensitive user information got leaked. Got arrested and being tried as an adult but the SaaS is still printing though. None of this happened btw.

I have spent thousands of pounds on your brand @adidas as the father of six fashion and sports conscious children. I will not give you a penny more and encourage a #BoycottAdidas campaign internationally. You know the reason.

A privatização da praia através de barreiras físicas ou ocupação do areal com equipamentos que relegam o veraneante da bola de Berlim ao estigma de não poder pagar uma sun bed regada a champanhe é uma perversão de um dos nossos raros espaços de comunidade publico.pt/2025/07/11/opinia…

"Death to the IDF" is apparently more controversial than the IDF's daily slaughter of men, women, and children.
