“We don’t have a contest culture”. Ok buddy, sure, but you:

- only hire “top talent”
- reward individuals, not teams
- fire low performers
- have a Wins channel where you “celebrate” individuals
- laser focus on KPIs/OKRs
- don’t hire juniors
- do RIFs vs retraining

Guess what! Contest cultures!

(…) que no tengáis unas navidades "estándar", a las que os sintáis solas, enfermas, perdidas, rotas y/o que no encajáis allí donde estáis ahora mismo

Sois increíbles, inspiradoras y merecéis ser queridas, amadas y vivir una vida plena, tranquila y feliz. ¡Y lo haréis!

The two hardest problems in Computer Science are

1. Human communication
2. Getting people in tech to believe that human communication is important

Aunque ya no sea portada, el genocidio continúa.
El “alto el fuego” fue una pausa táctica: menos titulares, más hambre, frío y enfermedades.
La violencia no paró, se reorganizó.
Y ahora también se libra en el relato, financiado para negar lo evidente.

Learning requires friction [...] By smoothing away these difficulties with AI, we are not making our children smarter [...] we are turning them into passive consumers of synthetic intelligence, doomed to float on a sea of algorithmic slop[...]

AI will make our children stupid | David James and Carl Hendrick | The Critic Magazine
Of all the recent signs that Western civilization is circling the drain, the most depressing is the apparent decline in IQs. The so-called Flynn Effect once showed IQs rising steadily.

Something something great minds thinking alike... #refactoring #evolutionarydesign

Different articulations of a mental model will click with different people, but those models tend to be much more alike than they are different. :)

Loss aversion is real, and we are taught how to add and not subtract. Write more, delete rarely. Afraid of making mistakes, which is ironic, cuz it’s relatively easy to recover deleted code.

I experienced this today, and had to consciously push through those feelings. Was a relief when it was done.

¿Cómo hacer una crítica adecuada sobre la IA?
La intuición de que algo no encaja en esta posible burbuja nos obliga a pensar una crítica que vaya más allá de lo apocalíptico. En ese sentido, esta idea de Cory Doctorow ayuda mucho: pluralistic.net/2025/12/05/p...
