TL;DR: Esse mês eu completaria 7 anos trabalhando para a Locaweb, mas decidi sair no dia 2 de junho. Nada demais, só procurando coisas diferentes Eu entrei na Locaweb em Junho de 2010. Na época o Fabio Kung entrou em contato comigo perguntando se eu queria me juntar a equipe de Cloud Computing. A equipe de Cloud Depois de uma conversa com ele e com outro gestor, eu descobri que era exatamente o que eu queria fazer, trabalhar com Ruby e infraestrutura, duas coisas que eu gostava muito.

Book: The Secrets of Story: Innovative Tools for Perfecting Your Fiction and Captivating Readers by Matt Bird. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. A great book on how to write books. 4.5 stars. The book goes through many problems and misconceptions behind writing a fiction book. In the book blog, you can find a big checklist with many questions your book has to answer: http://www.secretsofstory.com/2014/09/the-ultimate-story-checklist-raising.html There are many examples around each of these topics throughout the book.

Yes, it was a journey. I decided to chance my blog engine again. But this time I decided to post about the whole transition, since I started my blog, back in 2008. I needed a blog at the time but could not spend time creating something, I just wanted to “buy a blog” and write. Dreamhost was an awesome service for that. In one hour I bought a domain, installed a Wordpress via one click install and set up my own email via Google apps (at the time it was free).

Here we go again for my stats for the last month. :) Books I will start a in a new company this month, so I decided to re-read Deep Work (I really recommend this one). This book is just great for everyone who wants to focus and do the hard work. It has everything to do with my new work schedule. The book about Elon Musk was a good reading as well, this guy has some great ideas.

Book: Louder Than Words: The New Science of How the Mind Makes Meaning by Benjamin K. Bergen. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️. A good book, but maybe it’s not for me. I really like books that have a lot of research behind it, this is one of them. For almost every assumption made, the author reveals research done to support his point. This book made me realize that our words do not give meaning to something.

Book: Deep Work: Rules for Focused Success in a Distracted World by Cal Newport. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. re-reading 2017 I will work on a new project and this book will be a perfect fit for the new work environment, so I decided to revisit it. I wrote my book (Desconstruindo a Web: As tecnologias por trás de uma requisição using Deep work and it was an amazing experience. Embrace boredom is the most difficult practice from this book.

Book: Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future by Ashlee Vance. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️. It’s not a life-changing book but it’s cool to understand Elon Musk path. Here are some few sentences I like and some comments on them: The best minds of our time are working to make users click on ads That’s really sad. Elon has a great vision of the future and you can feel like him when reading the book (at least I can).

This was not a good month. I spent most of the time sick, recovering from what may be a Labyrinthitis. I still have to confirm that, but I’m in slow motion for a while. But anyways, let’s go to the collected data. Books Books for this month: “Einstein no Brasil” (Einstein in Brazil) is a physical book I borrowed from a friend and The Art of The Lord of the Rings I have in my shelf (as a good LotR fan).

Book: The Power of Broke: How Empty Pockets, a Tight Budget, and a Hunger for Success Can Become Your Greatest Competitive Advantage by Daymond John. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️. An ordinary book. 3 stars are good enough. The whole book discusses how to do business when you have no money. Daymond is the man behind Fubu and a TV show called Shark Tank. His story is really interesting to follow because he raised his entire business out of nothing, following the power of broke principle.

Book: Einstein no Brasil by Aguinaldo Prandini Ricieri. Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️. Um livro comum, com apenas um quote que valeu muito a pena. No geral consegui extrair algumas poucas boas informações sobre o Einstein daqui. Muita coisa do que tem nesse livro é parte do contexto do Brasil em 1925. Apesar da visita do Einstein ter sido noticiada em vários jornais e ele ter recebido homenagens de vários grupos, não teve nada muito revelador.
