Hi, I’m Matheus Lima, and I made a blog. Why? Honestly, because it’s cheaper than therapy and more fun than yelling at my terminal.
The name Terrible Software? It’s a nod to all the times I’ve stared at my code and thought, “Maybe I should’ve chosen another profession.” Turns out, embracing the chaos is way more productive than pretending I’ve got it all figured out.
Here, I’ll share stories about software, engineering leadership, computer science, and tech adventures. If you’ve ever copied and pasted a solution from Stack Overflow without fully understanding it, you’ll fit right in.
