Short bio https://pastebin.com/raw/asiBLTZk
Tener un pasado de haber trabajado en medios me hace un poco más consciente de que puedo decir tonterías en público (y de las repercusiones que ello conlleva), pero desafortunadamente no me hace inmune de todavía decir alguna de vez en cuando.

Es un plomazo ver que la gente con más talento que conozco siempre está al borde o por debajo del umbral de pobreza :[

Y que pasan los siglos y no terminamos de arreglar esto, oye. Que el dinero lo acumulan charlatanes, enteraos y papanatas, y a la gente que aporta bien al mundo le dan por saco.

Finished reading this collection of essays from David Graeber today. Nice read overall I think.

One of my top book recommendations from this year if you are into anthropology and world history.

First I'd just want it to do grunt, mundane and boring work well first if possible, please.

From my time living in the UK, I think the phrase "forewarned is forearmed" is one that has resonated with me over the years.

I've thought about it again today.

Been rearranging my home office desk for @afectivo.bsky.social operations.

Was able to get rid of some cables and simplify my setup. The MSI curved monitor is great and I was lucky to find it during during Black Friday.

Constraints are everywhere.

Money, time, memory, computing resources, energy, legislations, personal boundaries, laws of physics, etc.

Constraints drive creativity and innovation: they set limits for what could/should be done, and they also keep us grounded.

I love duets and crossovers like this. It's part of our soundtrack for this Sunday.

I have to admit that I've been using Claude Sonnet 4.5 (through Copilot) in a code project lately and it has helped with some work that could have taken me longer.

Still, I think it was helpful because I had at least a rough idea of what to ask and I was able to point to the problems I was having.

This might sound odd, but I think an engineer designing a drill, at the very least should know how to drill.

How are they going to test the drill or know if they are making a good drill?

(Sure, they could always delegate.

Not really talking about drills here, as you can imagine).
