about
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:
https://github.com/lone-lang/lone
The projects I've published are on GitHub:
https://github.com/matheusmoreira/
I can be reached via email:
hn@matheusmoreira.com
I also have my own website:
https://www.matheusmoreira.com/
If you like my work, consider sponsoring me:
https://github.com/sponsors/matheusmoreira
No pressure though. I do this because I enjoy it.

Taxing or banning advertising alone would fix literally everything that is wrong with the web.

There it is. That's what this "age verification" nonsense was all about. Predictably, the unceasing "think of the kids" rhetoric came down to THIS. Absolute control over peopl…

I'd love to set one up, but I don't think it's enough... That's not the whole story. I bet the actual fundraising is a full time job unto itself. I joined the GitHub Sponsors thing…

"Cheaper" compared to API prices, right? I've run the numbers and the frontier subscriptions are still the best option. 100% usage every week is a truly absurd amount of value. Unfortun…

Anthropic doesn't allow using subscriptions outside Claude Code.

AI memory systems have replaced that for me. AIs will actually read those things too. I never read my own notes.

Have been reading source code for over 15 years now. I read the source code of a lot of software, just for curiosity's sake. I go out of my way to read the source code of random scripts I find la…

Linus gets paid to be a BDFL. Pay me enough and I too will sit down and benevolently dictate things all day long. Until then, the world will have to make do with the blast radius.

Better than controllable demigods under a trillionaire's thumb. I'd rather AI wiped out humanity than live in that particular dystopia.

It doesn't automatically condemn him but it will probably trigger some kind of independent review of his cases. Better hope it's a perfect record.
