Avui que es festiu, us portem un episodi ben carregat d'opinions fortes sobre ChatGPT, Gemini i altres monstres de la IA que ho fan tot malament, i nosaltres ho faríem tot millor, clarament.

Cunyadisme digital, en català, tal com raja:

I really really REALLY would like the product people at @bsky.app to stop fucking around with the language selector.

It can't be that difficult.

This week I've written three posts for Founder to Founder.

#1: Review often, but... how often?

An article about how often to I revisit my habits as a founder and my routines/tasks and even frameworks.

F2F #63: Review often, but... how often?
How often should a founder review “how we do things”?

If big tech cared about accessibility, they would've developed a simple feature to auto-generate alt for images in each "upload image" form.

Can't believe no one does this in 2025.

I just realised that we don't have our linkedin profile linked to our website.

The website has been out for 3 years. The shoemaker children walk barefoot, they say.

Sent this post only for subscribers. I opened up about my humble upbringing and how I had to buy second-hand suits, shoes and ties to work for Deloitte.

I am more impressed by survival-driven entrepreneurship than mission-driven entrepreneurship.

The former usually originates in environments of scarcity whereas the latter usually comes from already successful folks.

Not saying which one is better, just which one I like more.

Aquesta setmana us portem l'episodi de Foc a Terra amb un molt bon amic, el Ferran Martinez Garriga. Amb ell, parlem del què hi ha després de l'esport: negocis, inversions, reptes de superació, frustracions i... quàntica.

So I got in trouble on LinkedIn because I attacked a billionaire.

Of course, he didn't come back to scold me, but his legions of fans did.

Ignorance is bliss.

This week, I bring you a BANGER. I met Dorion Carroll when he was CIO at Zynga and I was blown away by his insights. We've developed a very good relationship ever since.

Don't sleep on this one:

AI is slowly becoming a larger chunk of our revenue at MarsBased. That's why we've launched GPTApps, but, more than anything, it's because we're also using it first-hand to improve, automate and optimise internal workflows in the company.
