About Felipe

Hi, I'm Felipe. I'm a software engineer who likes building things and writing about what I learn along the way: engineering, design, and the tools in between.

This is my notebook. Longer pieces live under Writing, and everything is sorted by category.

Writing

  1. Designing a quiet blogDesign

    Why this site looks the way it does, and the handful of rules that keep it from getting louder over time.

  2. Notes on shipping smallEngineering

    The smaller the change, the faster it ships and the easier it is to undo. A few habits that make small changes the default.

  3. A weekend in the mountainsLife

    Two days with no signal, a paper map, and the discovery that boredom is a skill I had lost.

  4. My desk setup, 2026 editionGear

    A yearly inventory of what is on the desk, what changed since last year, and what I would buy again.

  5. Learning to write againNotes

    I stopped writing for years without noticing. Getting back into it meant lowering the bar until it was almost on the floor.
