Brazilian hobbyist programmer. I mostly do my own thing but I've contributed to some free and open source projects.

I created the lone programming language, a lisp for Linux:

The projects I've published are on GitHub:

No pressure though. I do this because I enjoy it.

I don't know. Claude helped me implement a ton of features I had been procrastinating for months in a matter of days. I'm implementing features in my project faster than I can blog about them. It definitely manifested as a huge commit spike.

And it's not like I'm blindly commiting LLM output. I often write everything myself because I want to understand what I'm doing. Claude often comments that my version is better and cleaner. It's just that the tasks seemed so monumental I felt paralyzed and had difficulty even starting. Claude broke things down into manageable steps that were easy to do. Having a code review partner was also invaluable.

GitHub's got something its competitors don't have: GitHub Sponsors. It's a nice way to support creators and a pretty good reason to stay on GitHub. If only it was more popular.

Common People is utterly terrifying. Woman falls into a coma, so startup uploads her mind to the cloud so it can stream her mind back to her. Then they start to enshittify the poor woman's life. Can't even sleep because they're using her brain as a CPU. She gets mercy killed while blurting out ads for antidepressants to the person doing it.

Metalhead is also among my favorites. Those kill bots put Skynet to shame.

Fiften Million Merits. The one where advertisers literally torture a man with loud high pitched noises because he refused to view ads and didn't have enough money to skip them.

Same here. If I must be in a walled garden, then I will choose the better kept garden and it sure as hell isn't one of Google's crappy platforms.

The only reason to put up with the shittiness of Android is freedom. The same freedom they keep eroding with their constant, never ending attempts to force remote attestation and sideloading limits.

GrapheneOS is the last hope for Android as far as I'm concerned. Hopefully Google won't find ways to screw that up.

Don't wait for them to push you away. Start exiting now. Setting up mail on my own domain and distancing myself from gmail is one of the best things I've ever done. Highly recommended.

Merely regulating them isn't enough. The world needs to start enforcing antitrust laws. If we don't break up all these big tech companies, our future will be a technofeudalist cyberpunk dystopia.
