The whole process of authoring a newsletter article and until it gets to the subscriber's inbox in Commune.
This can get so tricky it forced me to create a diagram to get clarity 😅

~1,000 people in the protests in favor of Palestine in Badajoz. If a city like this is mobilizing such an amount of people (we're usually around 20 people at most in these things) it means something is changing.
Keep protesting. It's going to work.
Free Palestine 🇵🇸

Commune is starting to really take shape. The core is getting stitched together, and it's a mix of exciting progress and the kind of stupid mistakes you learn from the hard way.

Humbled by the support I'm receiving in the early stages of Shift. These are not big numbers but it's really promising taking into account that until a ~1 week ago I didn't start running the pre-order campaign, and before that, you could only read it in Notion (which is not really appealing to many)

Big news! My book, "Shift: The Playbook for Event-Driven Architecture Advocacy," is officially available for pre-order!
It's been a long time coming and I'm super excited to finally get this into your hands.

For the last seven years, I've been "the AsyncAPI guy." And while I'm incredibly proud of that work, it's only ever been one part of the story. I'm starting a new chapter.

El 27 de Septiembre estaré en el Complejo Cultural San Francisco de Cáceres, en el Extremadura Digital Day.
Hablaré sobre mi historia con #AsyncAPI. Las curiosidades, los retos, las historias divertidas y las que no lo son tanto.
No os lo podéis perder porque sino... 🤬😜

Off to Brussels for FOSDEM. I'm excited to meet with friends again but even more now that I'm going to de-virtualize @asmitbm.bsky.social, @boyney123.bsky.social, and Maciej Urbańczyk. Who else is coming?
