Been playing with Claude Code lately and ended up vibe coding my own Pomodoro timer called Tomatochi 🍅 It uses Claude Code to generate personalised messages between sessions to keep me motivated.

If you’re not lucky enough to be in Brazil today, this is how the country is reacting to Fernanda Torres’ Oscar nominations—a near-unanimous Brazilian favorite—and I’m Still Here. Bonus: the Oscars ceremony coincided with Carnival, Brazil’s dearest holiday 😅

This collage features multiple images celebrating Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres, blending elements of Oscar nominations, Carnival, and national pride.
	1.	Top left – A Brazilian flag with Fernanda Torres’ face is displayed on a fence, humorously replacing the national emblem. She is pictured smiling and making a thumbs-up gesture.
	2.	Top right – A giant puppet of Fernanda Torres, dressed in a black gown and holding a Golden Globe-style trophy, is paraded during a street festival, likely as part of Carnival celebrations.
	3.	Center left – A mock magazine cover from “O Povo”, featuring Fernanda Torres’ face surrounded by stars. The headline reads: “Oscar, Carnival, and Brazil!”, reinforcing the festive and celebratory mood.
	4.	Center right – A group of revelers at a street Carnival bloc called Confraria do Pasmado in Pinheiros, São Paulo, all wearing masks of Fernanda Torres’ face, creating a humorous and surreal effect.
	5.	Bottom left – A mural painting shows Fernanda Torres alongside another woman, with the Brazilian flag as a background, indicating admiration for the actress.
	6.	Bottom right – Another Brazilian flag with Fernanda Torres’ face replaces the national emblem, hanging outside a decorated building, likely part of a Carnival celebration or a themed event.

The collage humorously captures Brazil’s enthusiasm for Fernanda Torres’ international recognition, turning her into an unofficial national symbol during Carnival and the Oscars season.

Feeling like I gained extra coding XP today thanks to @cmorrell.com! Learned a ton and feeling extra motivated to level up even more. It’s always awesome meeting someone so talented and seeing how they approach a problem you’ve been stuck on.

Still trying to catch up on the Laracon talks, but just finished watching @cmorrell.com talk about contributing to open source and how I wish I was there to have my name as a contributor 😂. Such a great talk! 🤌 If you haven't seen it already, totally worth it!
