Do you know what a Monte Carlo simulation is? It’s basically a way of making projections when you have no idea exactly what’s going to happen.
You take a bunch of assumptions, run thousands of possible combinations, and look at how the results spread out.
In short: every manager’s nightmare.
🫣
Especially when I’m the one who has to show the projections to the executive team.

English is the universal language, we can say that. But in Brazil, this is somewhat analogous to capitalism in the sense that being bilingual is not common; it puts you outside the norm.
I’ve noticed a real lack of access to technology-related knowledge in the country. Few people know much about it, and those who do often keep that knowledge... in English.
I’m going to start posting more in Portuguese on the blog and here as well. To encourage interaction. To promote it. Maybe this is a chance to do something different.

A Motto of Love
If you long to reach the realms of peace,
Do not pursue vain riches, nor harbor any shadow.
Sorrow and affliction, one by one,
Clear from your path, and leave them far behind.
When faced with blows and snares along the road,
Reveal the fullest strength of goodness you possess.
And when evil surrounds you, or wounds you, overcome it
As silently as sunlight conquers cold and mist.
Forgive those who fail to understand,
And bless, throughout your life,
The lips that kiss you
And, moments later, mock you.
Let self-improvement be your purpose,
And helping others your delight.
From the splendor of the stars
To the humbleness of dust,
Here is love’s motto for eternal victory:
Give, serve, restore, work, and forget.

The poem “A Motto of Love” typed on a cream-colored sheet of paper with a vintage texture.
