One of the learnings about growing a community, is that you have to re-introduce yourself every now and then to your new members, and update the others on what's happening.

La combinación de pedorretas + "hay mucha gente" le da una veracidad sin precedentes a sus afirmaciones. A la mierda el método científico. Me ha convencido.

El futbolista Marcos Llorente es uno de los fervientes seguidores del ultraderechista Alvise. Hoy, en la concentración de la selección española, ha denunciado con gafas amarillas que nos están fumigando desde el cielo. Majara de época.

Outside of that, it's mostly same old, same old, but spending your efforts somewhere else.

Spend your credits like in a slot machine if you want convenience and minimum brain effort or go back to old-school coding if you want to get things right.

I'll spare you the article, so here's the TL;DR - People who are glorifying it are either VCs who invested in these apps (Lovable, Vercel, Replit, etc.) or extremely successful people who have been doing this for the longest time (Pieter Levels).

I have gone back to the trenches and started coding in my spare time. I decided to give vibe coding a try for a week, and here are some of my findings.

F2F #56: Trapped by vibe coding

I am excited to try vibe coding but I feel it's closer to a videogame than to doing real world.

En 2025 el dinero ha aprendido.
Ya controla prácticamente todas las redes sociales, algoritmos, discursos y campañas.

Entre 2010 o 2015 las redes sociales pillaron al poder en calzoncillos.
Un canal fuera del control al que está sometida la mayoría de la prensa, que permitió que proyectos políticos independientes tuviesen voz y accediesen al poder en muchos países.

if you have to make up for 2h per day every day of the year, this means that your team is extremely inefficient and your problems are not in doing remote, but everywhere else.

Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit @alexrodba.com · 7d

People who complain about remote not working but waste 2h a day on commute.

Maybe they're not really being very efficient. That's also "work" time.

If you remember the episode with Greg Scown, he mentioned we should talk to Aaron and his team, so we did it, and the result speaks for itself.

Learn everything about company culture, when it breaks, how to fix it, who needs to champion this kind of initiatives, teams involved, conflicts and more!

Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit @alexrodba.com · 8d

This one with Aaron Schmookler is one of the first episodes we've recorded for Life on Mars where we managed to capture the magic of a first interaction, so we don't get trapped in "like we discussed the other day" or "what we were talking about before hitting record", and stuff like that.
