I write code 🖥️⌨️ and take photos 📸

@peduarte BCN is crazy; 15y ago shot this striped shirt guy trying to snatch that tiny camera with his foot. Watching through the viewfinder, I remember going "a-hem" and thinking "I just made a huge mistake" (because my camera was better 😅), but the guy looked at me and ran away 😮‍💨

@etaparainha Se o Tour se vende (também) com as paisagens de França, nesse sentido este percurso está bem escolhido. Não sendo perfeito, é este o bom caminho para um bom produto. Boa diversidade de locais (Gerês, Douro, Alentejo costa/interior, Estrela) e a dificuldade mantém-se.

Samples from a new Fuji recipe I made around Classic Negative. The goal was to create warm, vibrant tones inspired by summer vacations. I named it "Porto Santo", honoring the place where it was born. Settings in 🧵

Leaving San Francisco with reasonably productive sessions of coding and shooting 📸

Douro Valley, always a joy to go back.

[José Brito @josebrito]

There's no way around it, I no longer have time to sit at a computer to edit photos. So, for the first time I'm building a Fuji preset. These are JPEGs straight from camera. Need a few more tweaks with other light conditions, but getting closer to what I want.

Regardless of whether you agree with Cory’s actions or believe in his statements, the book provides a great first-person perspective of someone fighting the burden of bipolar disorder throughout their life. He describes it best:

[José Brito @josebrito]

Cory Richards has produced remarkable work with National Geographic. He’s an experienced climber with multiple ascents of the world’s tallest mountains; he’s also open about his bipolar disorder. Those struggles form the core of his first book - “The Color of Everything”.

[José Brito @josebrito]

At times, he shares moments that feel like too much information, but they fit his narrative of honesty. He recognizes the unfairness of some of his actions toward those around him, making it clear that his issues shouldn’t be used as an excuse. For me, this is the toughest debate

@alvaromsamagaio @f @kepano Been using the PARA method for over a year, it was life changing, highly recommend this read: https://t.co/4RRQ4LXpr4

[José Brito @josebrito]

Until learning about "Building a Second Brain" by @fortelabs, I used to ask myself all the time: “How did I do that?” or “Where did I save that?” I was constantly losing useful information because I didn’t remember where it was. I have never found a system that works.

My issue was very specific and went beyond the ordinary. It could never be solved by the current state of their AI agent. For companies: want to automate services with AI? Go ahead, just make it work, that's all we ask.

[José Brito @josebrito]

Solved! Just say "I wish to talk to an assistant" as many times as needed - the agent will insist. It turns out that following the instructions is what makes this so frustrating. Leaving this here for future reference, as there will be more to this story.

[José Brito @josebrito]

You cannot use the keyboard anymore. You need to say what you need, but the agent never understands. I tried random options three to four times hoping to get SOMETHING right or, hopefully, to reach a human. No luck. Customer service is doomed. This is 💩 - Meo is 💩.

I’m (mostly) ok with AI automating society, but at least do it right. Just found the most accurate definition of AI slop.

Tried to report an issue to my Internet provider. Phone support is virtually impossible. You get an AI assistant with no real options.
