No Filter Friday: Code, Courage, and Calling It Like It Is

Friday Thoughts:

• Vibe coding is great for prototyping. But only staying there is like the communist version of a developer.

• MCP servers are not fully developed yet. There’s a lot to improve in terms of architecture, and everyone’s using them without knowing how they work, with nobody improving them. (Just give me time.)

• Cursor/Windsurf/VSCode with Composer: If you’re a good developer, those three are just companies competing. Use the one that fits you, understand its capabilities first, then compare or choose one. They’re not a USER SERVICE; they’re not there FOR YOU. So, stop the “Cursor has to do the same thing as...” bullshit. Learn to use it first.

• I remember a dumb PHP CHIEF (as he called himself) insulting me two years ago because I said, “Drop VSCode, go to Cursor, then you’ll see.” He only knows PHP—or rather, one version of Drupal. Worked at one company, friend of the founder, and nothing else. Doesn’t understand English, so, like all these types, he doesn’t even know what I’m saying.

• I’m very proud of the last team I worked with. We created independent teamwork that the client appreciated so much, and they were the only ones in the company who really cared about me during my depression. I traveled to the USA for them. Not naming them—they know who they are—but the company here in my city didn’t even notice. Now? They’re destroying the work we did for that client, and it makes me sad. I’m confident saying no one else could’ve led that team like I did. Now they’re working weekends because of mediocre new hires. So sad to see it go that way.

• AI Models! People are competing over which model is the best without even knowing how to use them. Which model is for what? Which is most performant for which task? How can it improve your productivity in different contexts?

Let’s go with the hard thoughts:

• Being autistic taught me what limitations I might have, IN WHICH CONTEXTS. I’m not limited by it—I’m IMPROVED by it. I see more, understand more, work better. I’m better.

• Having ADHD isn’t a limitation but a great thing to harness. Once you control your brain and understand its physiology, you can fix distraction, manage frustration, and be the best at what you do.

About being fired:

• For telling the truth.

• For exposing a harassing, useless guy everyone knew caused trouble.

• They fired the victim for no reason after that.

• They erased me from every social network and publicly badmouthed me in front of the company.

• HR is a tool that manages conflicts in favor of the company, never the employee. Fighting against the truth is never “good.” That needs to change—companies that fix this will rise tremendously.

How do you overcome that?

No regrets for doing the right thing, even with consequences. That’s how you know who’s honest.

BE BETTER EVERY DAY. FIGHT FOR WHAT YOU LOVE. WORK TO BE THE BEST.

A lot of people improved their lives after hearing me. None are here now. Good for them—fuck you for being shitty.

I don’t do things for myself. I do them to improve the world for those who can’t.

I hope you all become better people. Things can change, even when it hurts. I’m living proof.

To those who hide and leave: I’m sorry for you. Cowardice doesn’t last. Be the legend that endures, not what people say.

I’m not mad or vengeful. As always, even when they didn’t listen, I’ll keep trying to open the eyes of those with potential to be more.

Happy Friday!

For those who can. If you can’t, you will. Look beyond the two meters in front of your eyes.

Being honest, truthful, and direct always changes things for the better—for the right people. Be you.
