Can’t fix everything I’d like to.

VP of Engineering at Cabify.tech

Galician @ Madrid.
Me han contactado ya dos personas por linked-in ofreciéndose a trabajar gratis para “de-risk” la contratación.

¿Es algún tipo de scam? ¿O está así de mal el mercado?

No eran posiciones de soldado raso precisamente…

Me sigo sorprendiendo cuando el principal motivo para una mala review a un juego es que no esté subtitulado al español.

Pensaba que con tantos años de impartir inglés desde pequeñitos en la escuela, al menos lo de leer lo tendríamos dominado.

This is the kind of work that Cabify engineers do: high value work, but also work that removes low value work (and downtime).

Se acerca Q4, y con él llegan las clásicas y muy criticadas evaluaciones de desempeño / performance reviews.

Why we still do performance reviews at Cabify
Performance evaluations. Just the phrase alone can trigger anxiety in employees and managers alike. Why and how Cabify Engineering keeps doing them.

And like 3D printing, AI in programming will, by necessity, change the way we work. There are both effective and ineffective ways to work with the new tech, and the lazy ineffective ways have a certain amount of appeal to many.

Un poco más tarde que @germandz.bsky.social , pero ya he llegado a esa fase vital en la que he montado un dyndns para que el hijo mayor pueda hostear un servidor de minecraft y jugar con sus panas.

The issue has never been the coding; it's been asking the right questions so that we can provide the right answer. AI doesn't change that.

Tengo en la familia una historia de película. Mi prima se hizo doctora para poder investigar el tratamiento de la enfermedad que afectaba a su madre.

Y ahí está investigando cómo arreglar proteínas y salvar vidas mientras yo leo slack 😓

Non sei a vós, pero a min esta historia de grandes plataformas priorizando "engagement" por diante de calquera outra cousa sóame demasiado.

Xa o coñecemos, e sabemos como acaba.

Spoiler: moi mal.

Imos asistir á repetición da mesma historia?

I'm not really sure how to reconcile these things – another big example that I haven't been able to square in 5+ years remote is how to properly train junior staff without the ability to shoulder-check with a gaggle of intermediate and senior staff.

Maybe 5 years ago, I decided to skip learning kubernetes because I saw it as a complex building block that would eventually be abstracted away by some other project.

Still waiting for that to happen 😅

Llevo una buena temporada desconectado de los eventos… ¿Conocéis algún listado de conferencias tecnológicas con sus fechas (idealmente, si tienen call for papers)?

Pensando en España y Latam.

But there’s a catch. Lisanne Bainbridge highlighted it back in 1983 in her paper "Ironies of Automation": the more we automate, the more we deskill.

As a manager of managers of managers… I feel like Cursor agents reconnect me with engineering.

I’m just scratching the surface, but since we do a lot of “management as code”, I think I’ll be able to leverage all the info available in a much more advanced way than before.
I mean, I'm kinda sad if programmers don't program any more but... it definitely makes me feel better about my current management-shaped role right now!

I stumbled across this essay as I was falling asleep last night, and left myself multiple emphatic reminders to remember to circle back to it today.

"The joy we're about to lose...we'll become overseers rather than creators, managers rather than builders."

Hay muy poco recurso sobre cómo gestionar la resiliencia de agentes (IA) y también sobre cómo asegurar la efectividad de costes si estos agentes tiran de LLM (que es el prácticamente el 100% de ejemplos de hola mundo que se ven en conferencias).

PS - we have a great relationship & regular one on ones. But I've found some engineers don't think the stuff they do is worth mentioning. Even though it is! They view the work as "oh, well it needed to be done" or "they needed help so I helped". Not realizing how valuable and unique that is.
