# King Selby

Da vinícola mais antiga do Japão em atividade na região tradicional de Osaka, este rótulo King Selby é conhecido pela leveza nos taninos e na acidez, ótimo para acompanhar a culinária local. Para está safra 2019 que demarca a uva Cabernet Sauvignon como carro-chefe eu considero muito mais que leve. Seu perene tom de frutas vermelhas e a cor rubi na taça entregam um toque de vinho europeu em um mundo exótico. Poderia ser qualquer país periférico como Turquia. Acaba sendo uma boa surpresa para quem não esperava muita coisa dos vinhos japoneses. Bom para beber sozinho, mesmo, mas não se apaga acompanhado até de um pouco de carne vermelha ou arroz japonês (outra combinação excelente).

# Mission of the architect

Mission of the architect: The job of an architect is to teach and keep coherence across the system. Guide decisions, set constraints, and help teams move forward without blocking them.

Organization before technology: One team, one domain, full ownership.

Gall’s Law: Start small, grow intentionally.

Instead of “how long will this take?”, “Can we make this smaller?”.

The real loop of incremental architectures: Build something small. Ship it. Get feedback. Adjust. Repeat.

Use patterns them when you have a problem, not before.

The Strangler Pattern: when you have a big ball of mud. Build a new module inside the existing system. Safe migration strategy without big-bang rewrites.

Component Architecture: A good component has a few strict qualities: Small classes and single responsibility. High cohesion and a focused interface.Hard boundaries, a single entry point. No spaghetti. Replaceable implementation, so clients do not depend on internals (Liskov matters here).

Event-Driven Architecture: Everyone listens, no one knows each other, and events go through a broker, not direct calls.

Domain Driven Design: Ubiquitous language is not a luxury. It reduces confusion and accelerates change.

When you map events and work, try this mental model:

Orange stickers: events, written in the past tense.

Blue stickers: consequences, the actual work to do.

Yellow stickers: who performs the work, your services.

Red stickers: questions, gaps in your knowledge.

Take this list with you:

Can you make the work smaller?

Do teams own domains end-to-end?

Do you apply patterns when they solve real problems, not by default?

Do components have hard boundaries and respect Liskov?

Event-Driven Architecture: Everyone listens, no one knows each other. Broker speaks, not direct calls.

Domain Driven Design: Ubiquitous language educes confusion and accelerates change.

Map events and work by colour: events (past tense), consequences (actual work), who performs the work (services), questions and gaps.

# What Actually Makes You Senior

If you can’t reduce ambiguity, all your other skills are just elegant ways of solving the wrong problem.

# Never Let Go: A Philosophy of Lifting, Living and Learning (John, Dan)

Make yourself a slave to good habits.

Listen, it’s easier to just eat the damn cookie. I know, I’ve been there. Hi, I’m Dan and I’m the guy who knows carbs are bad for me, but I eat them anyway so leave me alone in my corner to sob.

In the area of training, we all know what the value of a personal trainer actually is: It’s someone making sure you do something in the allotted training time.

Where else in your life does something become better and better and better every single time? Meals? Sleep? Work? Even sex can have highs and lows.

Small wonder many of the classic training plans are three days a week with a heavy, a medium, and an easy day.

Finally, don’t let a great day destroy years of planning and training by thinking this is now the norm. Enjoy the day, but keep a little humility.

All her friends, as well as the doctor, recommended high-protein diets. Everything I read and everything I heard said not to do this.

“Tomorrow, I’ll break the diet and quit. Just not tonight.” I woke up, walked, drank my shake, and I was fine. That’s a big one. You have to make deals with yourself all the time.

One of the best lessons of the V-Diet: Veggies can be made to taste like candy just by not eating whole foods for twenty-eight days.

Ab work won’t give you a six-pack. It will, however, be the best support work you can do for your entire training regimen.

Seven sets of five max squats followed by jumps seems to burn every fiber of the legs.

Tabata is the name of a Japanese researcher who discovered an interesting way to increase both anaerobic and aerobic pathways at the same time. It’s one of those strange training programs that seems to fit across disciplines: It’s excellent for bicyclists, speed skaters, Olympic lifters, or the person looking to lose fat quickly.

What is it? Nothing to it: Take one exercise and perform it in the following manner. 1) For twenty seconds, do as many repetitions as possible. 2) Rest for ten seconds. 3) Repeat seven more times. That’s it! You’re done in four minutes!

The two best exercise options for the Tabata method are the front squats and the thruster,

You need to choose an exercise that uses a large number of muscles. I suggest the front squat.

The harder you work, the bigger the other three components have to become in proportion to your added level of work.

Passion is a word that doesn’t mean what you think it means. It means to suffer. Now, that may not be how we use it today, but that’s what the root of the word means, at least in the dictionary. Let’s define it this way: Passion, to suffer for love.

I think greatness comes to those willing to go past the sweat.

You have to go past the hurt, too.

Hurt means you’ve just moved beyond the pain.

Winners learn to live with hurt.
