Not money or fame: Harvard’s 85-year-long study shows why relationships matter most for happiness
The Harvard Study of Adult Development says the strongest predictor of happiness and longevity is the quality of close, supportive relationships, along with healthy habits, resilience, and community ties.
Entrevista com Luiz Eduardo Soares sobre etnografia

Don’t Ignore Thread Safety — Design for Concurrency from Day One
The article argues that thread safety should be built into software design from the start because concurrency bugs are hard to reproduce, appear under load, and can be reduced with safer patterns and automated review.
Interviewing for ML/AI Engineers
The essay argues that ML engineer interviews should mix coding, data modeling, system design, project deep dives, and career chats, while limiting ML system design interviews because they often produce low signal.
Steam, Steel, and Infinite Minds
The post argues that AI is a new miracle material, like steel and steam, and that it will reshape knowledge work, organizations, and economies once context and verification improve.

Trust the Server, Not the LLM: A Deterministic Approach to LLM Accuracy
The article argues that numerical reporting should be moved to deterministic server-side code, while the LLM only copies citations, follows templates, and passes validation checks.
Estimates – a necessary evil? - Erik Thorsell
The post argues that estimates help product owners balance priorities, release dates, and technical debt, but become harmful when treated as deadlines. Continuous updates are presented as the better practice.
