Building the cloud from sand—one layer at a time.
Next-Gen Languages, Compilers, and IRs for AI
AI models keep scaling while fresh silicon (GPUs, TPUs, NPUs, you name it) hits the market every year. That widening hardware zoo leaves a gap: high-level Python builds ever-larger graphs, but each graph still needs hand-tuned kernels to run fast on the latest chip. Yesterday the fix was to write...
The Day I Built an AI to Predict Tibia Character Prices

Skip the Puzzle, Review the Pull Request
Generative copilots can already spit out textbook LeetCode answers on demand, which means the signal in those questions is evaporating. What remains scarce is the ability to read unfamiliar code, spot hidden risks, and articulate respectful feedback that guides it toward production quality. In other words, review skill is becoming...
Hacking Moleculer and Building Pylecular: A Journey into ML/AI Microservices
Pylecular started as a genuine experiment. I wanted to combine my background in distributed systems with the lessons I had learned working with Moleculer.js a few years back. The goal wasn’t to build a framework or replace anything, it was to see what would happen if I took a powerful,...
A Chip in a hand
Six years ago, on a muggy October afternoon in 2019, I walked out of a downtown piercing studio with thirteen millimeters of bioglass and copper sealed beneath the web of skin between my thumb and index finger. The installer wiped away a single bead of blood, snapped off his gloves,...
Observability: Balancing Its Benefits and Costs in Modern Software
Observability is table‑stakes for modern, distributed systems. By turning logs, metrics, and traces into a real‑time pulse of your stack, it shortens the path from “something’s wrong” to “here’s why.” That visibility lets teams ship faster with fewer surprises—but every new signal consumes storage, compute, and licensing dollars. The only...
OO Interfaces, Types & Contracts — Why They Still Matter in 2025
Hey folks — long time no post! After a fun detour at unbounded.dev, I’m reviving my personal blog. Expect fast, low‑friction braindumps: ideas captured before they calcify, with minimal “production polish.” Today’s dump is on a workhorse topic I keep circling back to—object‑oriented interfaces, static types, and why they still...
Paridade de ambientes com Helmfile
A partir do momento que começamos a desenvolver sistemas para a nuvem, reduzir a lacuna de ferramentas entre ambiente de desenvolvimento e produção é sempre um objetivo e ao mesmo tempo um grande desafio, pois até mesmo com o advento dos containers e demais soluções de virtualização, algumas arestas ainda...
