It's just a little point of interest. I don't often think about my life intersecting with the nation off of Brazil, yet I use htop every day. Now I'll probably cast my mind to a Brazilian rainforest when I do. Just makes the world a slightly more interesting place.

Thanks! Always nice when we help to make people's perceptions of places less unidimensional. Brazil is not only a place with rainforests, we also have coders! :)

(Though, even though I'm a (Southern) Brazilian myself, I used to think the whole "monkeys in the streets" here was a hoax until I moved to Rio de Janeiro and I realized they have tiny squirrel-sized monkeys running atop the power lines there!)

I feel the unidimensional thing. Australians don't actually ride kangaroos to work! There is, if I'm honest, a wallaby living in the bush that abuts my property, though.

You'll excuse me, however, for continuing to cast my mind to a tranquil rainforest rather than a Brazilian coder at a keyboard. I understand they both exist, but one is far more relaxing to contemplate than the other! :)

You're living in Rio de Janeiro? I'm sorry for you.

This is kinda what set me off, one tend to stereotype with such information - was out written on an xo laptop in a favela, in a logging camp, on a super-yacht - a country name means something, I'm just not sure what. Countries as groups of people just seem too arbitrary to me I guess.
