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!

An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me
This is both funny and incredibly infuriating. A PR was declined on GitHub for an open-source project because it was made by an AI agent and… the AI agent (or the anonymous person behind it) wrote up a defamatory blog post targeted specifically at the project’s maintainer.
If being an open-source maintainer was already a thankless job, now there’s one more hell to endure.

One more for the “it’s good but I’ll never watch it again” group. The movie is great at portraying negative emotions and Rose’s acting is top notch. What it chooses not to show is just as important as what it does.
Stop generating, start thinking
Fantastic piece wielding the power of common sense and highlighting all the struggles that software engineers have with using generative AI on our jobs.
I also use LLMs as a spicy autocomplete (or even a spicy search) and they can be very useful at times. But I can’t replace my thinking with machines, because machines don’t think.

While the movie takes its time to get going, it is so well worth it. It keeps reinventing itself every few minutes and just keeps getting better and better.
The soundtrack, though, is just on another level. It is so good. One particular scene is gonna stick in my mind for a while, it was freaking amazing. If you watched it, you know which one it is.
Snow Day
A very cool way to spend the afternoon, just 30min away from home. Lots of kids and dogs playing in the snow!
Taken in Piani Resinelli, Lecco, Italy.
More invoker commands, and more reasons not to use JavaScript please
HTML is getting more powerful! Now you can add some predefined commands to HTML elements that can do things like open (or close) modals, for example, without a single line of JS. This article explains really succinctly how that works. The custom commands thing is neat as well.

Gosh I loved this movie. A thriller that managed to make me both really tense and laugh out loud in the same scene without any of these reactions contradicting each other. It’s absolutely ridiculous in the best way.

As a Brazilian I’m extremely proud of this movie, and it’s extremely good in pretty much all regards. Trying to avoid spoilers here, but… it feels like it’s missing a huge part though? With the historical context I have I can kind of imagine why it’s missing, but it felt frustrating, unlike the rest of the movie that’s actually there.

Case Study: lynnandtonic.com 2025 refresh
Lynn talks through a really neat effect added to the latest refresh of their website: a “squishy” animation on the content whenever the window gets resized!
This means you won’t get to see the effect live on your phone, but there’s videos of the effect on the article just in case.
Love the paper-like aesthetic of the website, too.
