Filipe Fortes

Four years ago, I wrote the world's greatest tweet. After months of therapy, I'm finally ready to share how my life has changed since then: fortes.com/2017/one-good-…

@anthemos @Zumper Congrats, excited to see what's next!

Exciting news! I have promoted our CRO, Shawn Mullahy, to CEO of @Zumper! I’ll be moving from CEO to Chairman of the Board I started Zumper with my Co-Founders almost 14 years ago and being our CEO has been the privilege of a lifetime (1/6)

@ivanhzhao @akothari Hello! Formerly founding eng @coda_hq now at @figma, I'm down to meet up on Tues!

Visiting Miami next week with @akothari and looking forward to meet local founders. Who’s free on Tuesday night?

We are cooking up some cool shit at Figma, can't wait to show everyone

fortes.com/2026/personal-… Took a moment to answer the most important question no one asked: What technology am I using right now?

Now do 'Italian' olive oil, which is often repackaged Spanish olive oil (which is better than Italian).

GitHub has been surprisingly quick to update their UI based on the latest tax laws

Stories of how founders knew it was time to go all-in on their idea: 1. For @shishirmehrotra and @coda_hq, it was when his dream colleagues agreed to join

Classic off-by-one computer scientist error

Finally got around to setting up a `/now` page for all my stalkers: fortes.com/now/

@posobin As Eisenhower said: Plans are worthless, but planning is essential (I'm not much of a planner, though)

People who schedule their days: how do you deal with schedules inevitably going off the rails? Like a task is taking longer than expected, do you drop it and go to the next scheduled item or do you adjust in other ways?

@antoniogm @lilastories FWIW, there's been a small cluster of Indian / Sri Lankan joints in a pocket of the East Village for a while ny.eater.com/2016/4/28/1149…

@lilastories You're citing 6th Street as a source for Indian food? red_flag_emojis

PSA to the Bay Area expats in Miami bemoaning the state of Asian or Indian food: it's all in the Kendall suburbs which is where the 'real' people in Miami live. You know how you'd get on the 101 to Sunnyvale for dim sum or dosas? Great. Get on the 836 and do the same.

Encourage people to optimize for views, what could go wrong?

@raphaelschaad @destraynor This is the way

@destraynor A few friends and I essentially have our own Path in a Signal group and we love it. It's something between Instagram (sharing photos of our lives with one another), status updates, Twitter, and group chat — we don't feel the need for this to be public & runs under our own rules.

Path is one of those ideas that I'd love to see tried again, and enough has changed in the tech landscape over 12 years to make it worth a shot. Their 2010 launch video was really compelling vimeo.com/17242475

@raphaelschaad Oh my, you're right! I saw pic on Strava and confused the source 🫢

@fortes Wait but did I post that there? Wasn’t I in a subway essentially with the same facial expression

This means an entire 10% still to go. I’ll ship something big, run a marathon, and travel to Switzerland for Xmas. Let’s gooo!

@raphaelschaad WC Group chat demands exclusive content!

@fortes It’s just Strava, no?

@raphaelschaad Wait, you recycled this photo in our world cup group chat?!?!! 😂

How it's going: strava.com/activities/823… 1 down, 2 to go!

@zoink Bats also ~25% of all mammalian species!

Why do we demonize bats? They are literally the only flying mammals. Meanwhile everyone is an eagle / owl stan even though they descended from reptiles. #TeamMammal

Just chased an iguana out of the pool

Distribution on the @coda_hq internal version

Don't know much about soccer? Don't let that stop you! You can have the doc auto-pick for you. Have it make random choices, or you can use picks from other sources such as @FiveThirtyEight

#WorldCup2022 starts in 2 days! Here's a Coda doc I made for predictions, join and make your own: @fortes/2022-world-cup-prediction-pool" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">coda.io/@fortes/2022-w… (best on desktop) Rooting for #Portugal 🇵🇹 but I'm being a bit pessimistic in my prediction so I can be pleasantly surprised if we win 😅
