A short note about creating an account on X to give the blog more visibility, despite an anti-social media stance.
selfware: the newest, most fun thing in tech
I am writing this post from my local-brain-ui : a piece of selfware , or, if you prefer, personal software built through vibe coding , inspired by ideas like LLM-powered wikis and second-brain systems. The central idea is simple: a second brain does not have to be just a pile of notes abandoned in folders. It can become something more active, almost like an operating system connected to the way…
harry: an evidence-gated autonomous research loop
Summary I just created Harry, an autonomous researcher inside a local Lab interface. It is not a chat prompt pretending to be a research assistant; it is a project-contained research loop with persistent state, phase budgets, literature search hooks, experiment execution, claim tracking, manuscript generation, and visible run supervision. The core design choice is simple: every research project…
anderson's selfware practice
Anderson's Selfware Practice Everything you think becomes your software. Everything your software makes shapes what you think next. Other people are starting to call this kind of thing selfware . They mean different things by it. This is what I mean, and the system I built around the meaning. 0. The moment This text is written in 2026. The moment matters, and naming it is the first move.

do what you love, and you’ll never have to work a day in your life?
Uma reflexão pessoal sobre largar a rota mais segura, voltar para a carreira acadêmica e tentar fazer algo que tenha prazer e sentido.
quit my software developer job and i’m going after a government career
That’s it, my friends: I quit. There’s no point in making money if you’re miserable. I’m going to take the civil service exam for a technician position at Petrobras. I’m done with home office, done with agile development. I’m going after adventure in the offshore rotation lifestyle. And you? Would you have the courage to walk away from everything and chase your dreams?
decentralizing the smartphone — part iii: pocket notebook
The average smartphone usage today is around 4 hours a day. Four hours doesn’t sound like much. It’s “normal.” Everyone does it. But let’s do the math. 4 hours a day = 1,460 hours a year. If you live to 80, and subtract childhood before smartphones, we’re talking about roughly 11 and a half years of your life staring at a small screen. Eleven fucking years. There’s a popular idea that it takes…
decentralizing the smartphone — part ii: pocket radio
In this series of posts, I’m revealing the method that helped me the most reduce my smartphone use: replacing it with other dedicated devices. Radio takes this idea of decentralizing the smartphone even further because it replaces the certainty of streaming with the uncertainty of whatever happens to be playing live. With streaming, we choose everything. The algorithm learns what we like and keeps…
decentralizing the smartphone — part i: ipod
With the rise of streaming services, we gained access to millions of songs—but that abundance never brought proportional satisfaction. Quite the opposite: excess became paralysis. When everything is available all the time, nothing seems to carry weight. My alternative was to radically reduce my options and listen to music exclusively on a iPod Classic. On it, every album and every track has to be…
