Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 09/01/2025I'd like to PR a way to define "internal" attributes on Eloquent models that cannot be accessed from outside in favor of richer attributes, e.g returning a "Money" object and blocking amount/currency from being accessed. Any suggestions for a better API? 120
Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 08/01/2025No doubt that LLMs are a net positive when it comes to productivity, but I think a key element coding tools (e.g “build me this”) miss is the iterative, discovering process. As you build something, you go “oh, maybe this API would be better this way”, or “that component should be split in two”. 220

Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 24/12/2024the new iOS photos app is disgustingly horrible I swear that alone would make me consider switching to Android if I didn’t have other apple devices hopefully they undo it, or allow us to go back to the old one at some point 110
Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 23/12/2024Writing code that works is the bare minimum. The job is not just about that, but writing code that *is easy to change*. It's a bit frustrating whenever architecture content is deemed as "overengineering"; apps don't have to and shouldn't grow into unmaintainable balls of mud. 5423
Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 22/12/2024whenever a new ai model is released or announced social media becomes a bit anxiety inducing for me. bluesky doesn’t! 040
Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 15/12/2024This might be a bit of an uncommon take nowadays, but I think using LLMs to learn something from scratch is a bad idea. They’re absolutely fantastic to ask questions to and go deeper in a subject, but compressing pages of documentation into a few responses must warrant some information loss. 150
Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 14/12/2024A good exercise when building your models is to think “how would this be modeled if there was *no* database?” Of course, IRL, it exists and you’re bound to it and will have to make some concessions. Still, I feel it’s very valuable. 000

Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 05/12/2024My tip to eat clean when dieting is… to just eat clean I feel a massive urge to eat crap (oreos, sushi, burgers, whatever) for 3-4 days, and then it stops and I feel absolutely no special desire to eat anything like that. 120

Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 30/11/2024I think a major reason I’ve been enjoying this place more than the <<other place>> is there is barely any content about AI. Opening the other app is suffocating. Every 3 tweets there’s a “AGI has been achieved”, “AI just nuked this profession” or something like that 😅 170
Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 28/11/2024Happy Thanksgiving to my friends who celebrate it! I hope you and your families have an amazing day. ❤️ 031
Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 28/11/2024Since this sort of blew up on <<the other place>>, I recorded a video on it, but I still don’t think it’s the best medium. Would anyone be interested in going over this topic on a podcast? Preferably someone who disagrees with me but has an open mind to the idea :-) 251
Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 28/11/2024People are using LLMs summarize books. Do you really think you can compress a 300-page book into 2 pages without losing a *bunch* of information? There are people summarizing Dostoyevsky on Reddit, what's even the point 😭 131

Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 22/11/2024Is there an AI service that helps generate B-rolls?

Something like that. 011

Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 12/11/2024I find there are very few situations where mocks are actually desired. One of them is sometimes when you need to test infrastructure and the upstream provider does not provide a good way for that. Instead, I much prefer using in-memory fakes — they read much better and are much easier to maintain. 031
Mateus Guimarães @mateusguimaraes.com · 11/11/2024My other app feed has downgraded so much I’m pretty much only using this one. It’s a mix of absolute terrible engineering advice, “AI can copy a SaaS in 24h”, and “As a XXX, what do you do in a sad, rainy sunday evening” 😭 2110
