Writing a Short Business Proposal

The current problems are applications made by software factory.

The responsible know how their applications should work and the factory wants to charge us to do knowledge transfer. I am proposing to write how the flow should work through business analyst, select some developers and when have new demands, these developers spent some time to learn that.
The biggest disadvantage is to spent more time than real, but even with knowledge transfer, we will have problems with that.
So, what do you think is better for us?
Go ahead and do that?

Best regards,
Marcos

Summarizing a Networking Event

Hi everyone. I just returned from QConSP 2016.

The event was a success. There were many people with interesting ideas about how build up monolithic applications. Most prefer to break into smaller applications, to have better defined responsibilities. I agree too and I made some great contacts to help us.

But the focus of the moment is machine learning. Everyone is learning that, to implement in their company. I think we could look for this and see where we could implement this. Who knows, automated call center?

I will make a presentation to show you the news.

Best regards,

Marcos

The headquarters is in São Paulo but the rest of company in Curitiba and I felt bad with your conditions. A solution was show service. Some workers were fired but people who weren't fired did excellent work. Integrate the systems and show that your process is better than the headquarters. People continue to be upset, but now, things will be different.

Accidents and Injuries

A cyclist here in Curitiba, Brazil, was riding his bicycle in a street exclusive for buses. He didn't noticed that 2 buses would meet and when he noticed, he tried to pass between them. But the rear wheel caught him and bruised him. After that, he was taken to hospital and he moderately injured. I am shocked about that. This street has a lot of buses and there are a lot of cyclist who ride there. This street section has an exclusive lane for bicycles and people do not respect it yet.

When I lived in Brasilia, Brazil, I've always visited Chapada dos Veadeiros. There is a great place to visit. There are wonderful falls. One of the ways of Chapada has eleven falls to see. The water is very cold, but the weather is very hot. So, take waterfall bath become the best thing you can do. Valley of the Moon is the best known attraction of Veadeiros. The river São Miguel runs between huge granite rocks carved. It looks like are lunar craters. The city has special climate. People use light clothes and there are bars that play reggae music.

Transcendence is an excellent movie and it leads us to thinking in important problems about our existence. Worldwide problems like the lack of food, pollution in earth, health system e etcetera were solved on nanotechnology and the best of the movie is discussing it. So, I will get started.

In the beginning, a brilliant computer scientist adding succeeds artificial intelligence in a monkey. His name is Dr. Will Caster. He started a discussion about that and led the academic community to thinking about future of technology and showing the benefits of artificial intelligence in saving the planet. What the AI could do and held evolution enough to save the planet. However, many people did not believe that this could be happen in such a simple form. Probably, the artificial intelligence would devastate the world. So, one group tried killing him without success. But the bullet was poisoned with radiation and began affecting him. Will Caster's wife did not want to see him dead. So she persuades him to transfer his intelligence and personality to the computer so it could be liberated in the internet and dispersed in the world.

This new computer discovered nanotechnology, the secret of millions of diseases, helps policies solving many cases and reconstructed the human body perfectly. Someday, Will Caster's work suffered an accident and he save his life. Will Caster's wife felt bad with what happened and she gave her opinion about it with other computer scientist.

These scientists wanted to destroy the computer because after the computer saved lives, it could control people that it saved. They discovered that Will Caster’s nanotechnology disseminated throughout the planet and they started a plan to destroy him. The plan turned off permanently all electricity of the world. Scientists got it and after discovered that the machine saved the planet. Deserts were transforming in to wide forests. The water was purified. Toxic wastes disappeared. The sky was free of pollution. In the end, his wife became part of his code and we, watchers, discovered that one part of them continued alive.
