Our CTO, Xavier Redó, goes down memory lane and shares his transition as a developer loving and unloving typed languages and his relationship now with TypeScript and AI code agents.

Very interesting read, indeed. Makes me want to code more:

AI code agents and Typed Languages
For the first time, types feel like they are working with you instead of against you. Inference, editor support, safer refactors, and clearer APIs made typing feel less like bureaucracy and more like ...

The servilism to the algorithm is real. What in the actual fucking fuck.

In the life of a small company, you can't utter "from now on, we will do X" without acknowledging that the statement will only be valid, at best, for the next 12 months.

Because in the end, the crowd doesn’t cheer for solos. They cheer for the song, for the band and the overall performance.

The companies that survive won't be those who can outspend the crisis.

There'll be those who remember how to engineer.

OpenAI dropped the big news we were waiting for. Their directory of apps is live!

Earlier this year, we launched GPTApps to build these apps for our clients. We've already developed a few, so if you want to build yours, let's chat!

100% of the legal documents we’ve done at MarsBased since incorporation could have been done without lawyers.

Not saying we won’t need them going forward, but we could’ve saved tens of thousands of dollars on the few occasions we paid for their services.

The US political&social situation looks like it's being engineered by someone who didn't get the irony and sarcasm of The Boys and thought it'd be cool to replicate it in real life.

The problem with Comet is that it looks 99.9% like Chrome, so my mind is still thinking I'm using Chrome, and I don't reach out for the assistant.

This is one of the golden rules of software adoption: make product B look 100% like product A to help people transition A->B.
