Code Energy publishes computer science books for people who create code — not people who write scientific papers. Each book distills the fundamentals we believe every developer should know, explained visually and without filler.
The first book, Computer Science Distilled, covers the core concepts in one short read. The second, Computer Science Unleashed, goes deeper into cryptography, networking, data analysis, and machine learning — same approach, bigger topics.
We also build software
Motiro is our software product: it surveys teams and shows their leaders how people are really doing. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, it turns short surveys into clear scores — motivation, needs, leadership, and environment — and flags the specific issues worth acting on. Same principle as our books: the fundamentals, without filler.
Who we are
Code Energy was founded by Wladston Filho, who holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in computer science from UFMG in Brazil and has been creating software for close to twenty years. His friend Moto Pictet edited the first book, and they co-authored the second.
