Life definitely caught up with me in the past couple months. Traveling home during a catastrophic and record breaking storm in Portugal, house viewings and bidding, mortgage documents back and forth, baby daughter starts going to daycare (and getting sick all the time 😅), wife going back to work and me staying home twice a week, wars starting, gas prices… ## [Edition 001: The Beginning](https://capsule.one/journey/edition-001-the-beginning/) _2026-01-25 · Capsule One_ This journey actually did not start 1.5 months ago. Early last year I realized that if I wanted any of my projects to see any success, I could not let my engineer brain be in control and keep building in a vacuum. So now I had to start sharing things online and building an online presence. Like the tech person that I am, for me this meant X / Twitter. So that’s where I started. ## [Goodbye BringOps](https://capsule.one/mindscape/goodbye-bringops/) _2026-01-15 · Capsule One_ Thank you BringOps. I learned so much with you! Some reflections that might resonate with people: I shipped too late. I worked on this project on and off for two years. I didn’t talk about it online. Only my computer and couple friends knew about it I rewrote it a couple of times. It started with react, moved to svelte, played around with… ## [X/Twitter Smaller Team](https://capsule.one/mindscape/x/twitter-smaller-team/) _2026-01-12 · Capsule One_ I was just thinking how impressive it is the value that a much smaller team is able to deliver, 3 years after the acquisition & layoffs. I’m not pro firing people, but sometimes companies do get bloated and lose focus. Everyone was saying Twitter / X was gonna crumble. One could argue they’re doing quite well! ## [Reverse Trial and Credit Card Requirements](https://capsule.one/mindscape/reverse-trial-and-credit-card-requirements/) _2026-01-07 · Capsule One_ I’m seeing more and more products either doing reverse trial or requiring credit card to unlock more free stuff within the free plan. Last example I saw was Posthog. I find it super smart and don’t know why we didn’t do it that way sooner. Maybe people were more risk averse before?

Vibe coding , vibe coded , one-shotted . At some point I really couldn’t stand it anymore and had to mute it. There I've done it 🤯 Lets see if it calms down... pic.twitter.com/vsX6S5TGNS — Ricardo Marques (@RCM7) March… ## [The case for self-hosting](https://capsule.one/blog/2025/02/03/the-case-for-self-hosting/) _2025-02-03 · Capsule One_ In today’s world there seems to be no reason why anyone can’t build and deploy anything. With the proliferation of all sorts of PaaS and SaaS services to abstract the developer further and further away from the metal, the pace at which new ideas can be made available to the masses is insane. Multiply that by the fact that everyone building… ## [Ctrl-a and Ctrl-e with tmux and zsh](https://capsule.one/mindscape/ctrl-a-and-ctrl-e-with-tmux-and-zsh/) _2025-01-09 · Capsule One_ Decided recently to uninstall oh-my-zsh because it was a big contributor to my shell’s slow load time. Suddenly my Ctrl + a and Ctrl + e shortcuts for beginning of line and end of line stopped working, but only inside a tmux session. Turns out setting these bindings directly in .zshrc fixes it: #.zshrc bindkey '^A' beginning-of-line bindkey '^E'… ## [Keep your shell history](https://capsule.one/mindscape/keep-your-shell-history/) _2025-01-03 · Capsule One_ Keep your shell history. The amount of time saved looking for commands you’ve run successfully in the past will become near zero. #.zshrc HISTSIZE = 1000000 SAVEHIST = 1000000 #.bashrc HISTSIZE = 1000000 HISTFILESIZE = 1000000 This will keep you years of history. Pair it with fzf and you hit a gold mine. 🚀 ## [Make your keyboard fast in Mac Os](https://capsule.one/mindscape/make-your-keyboard-fast-in-mac-os/) _2024-12-09 · Capsule One_ When you start increasing your typing speed, the default settings on the Mac are just not enough. The adjustments in the Keyboard settings menu are not enough either. You need to go to the terminal and run the following commands: defaults write -g KeyRepeat -int 1 defaults write -g InitialKeyRepeat -int 10 Feel free to adjust those numbers to your liking. Happy faster… ## [Stop CI/CD & Supply-Chain Attacks (Sponsored)](https://crawlproof.com/a/lNEyDsvIcU9o) _2024-12-08 · **Sponsored**_ Per-PR: 17 CI/CD checks and package malware scans with inline Check Run findings. ## [Remap Caps Lock key to Escape](https://capsule.one/mindscape/remap-caps-lock-key-to-escape/) _2024-12-04 · Capsule One_ Remap the Caps Lock key to Escape. The little finger is basically there already. I did this when Macbook Pros had the Escape key on the touch bar. Never changed it back. Seemed like a good first Mindscape 🚀
