Issue 1
The start
Why I merged portfolio, studies, documentation and newsletter into a single site — and what to expect from the next issues.

This is the first issue, so it's about the place you're reading it in.
Why it exists
I used to write in three places and maintained none of them. Study notes in a note-taking app, documentation in loose files, a portfolio that had been still for too long. Each of those places carried its own maintenance cost, and the result was predictable: nothing got updated.
The bet here is that one place, with one publishing flow, survives — while four don't. Writing a post, publishing a project or sending an issue are the exact same operation: create a file and push.
What changes in practice
- Projects get room to explain decisions, not just list technologies.
- Studies stop dying inside a closed app.
- Docs become a reference I can actually look things up in.
- Newsletter is the periodic summary of all of it.
All of it in Portuguese and English, because half of what I read is in one language and half of the people I talk to are in the other.
What's coming
The next issues should follow a roughly fixed shape:
- What I built — what left the IDE over the past few weeks.
- What broke — the bug or bad decision that cost time, and what stuck.
- What I read — two or three links that were worth the click.
No rigid schedule. I'd rather have a good irregular issue than a punctual empty one.
How to follow along
There's no mailing list yet — I don't want to ask for your address before the writing habit is established. For now the archive is public and the RSS feed tells you when something new ships.
If you want to talk about anything here, the contact links are on the home page. See you in the next one.
