Soy dev convertido en fundador. Pasé más de 10 años en Big Tech construyendo productos y sistemas de crecimiento a escala (Meta, Microsoft).
Si eres un dev con mentalidad de producto, o un PM con alma de dev, comparto análisis técnicos sobre desarrollo de productos.

We are in a golden age where, if you are good at systems and understanding, AI increases your abilities by an order of magnitude. But if you are not good at it, you just spin your wheels and end up nowhere helpful

@nikitabier @alejandrozepe Bringing the OG YouTube growth tactic. Nice

[Alan @bitforth]

Saying your wife is the best thing that happened to you is not bad if she reciprocates, and from that story, she loves him back, respects him, had his children, and lights up when he walks into the room.

The cookie thing is even funnier. Why is “my mom’s cookies are better” treated like some masculine purity test?

boy, go marry your mom then.

Your wife should be the top woman in your life. That's just table stakes.

The actual proof is in the outcome: 5 years, 2 kids, and she still looks at him like she won.

I’ve known quite a few people like this. The trick is to find the ones who aren’t self-destructive.

[Alan @bitforth]

@pmarca One of the greatest thinkers of our time agrees

Thinking about yourself
Is indistinguishable from suffering

Self consciousness is literally
A facet of trait neuroticism

Depressed and psychotic people
Use much more self-referential language

Obsessing over your mental state
Makes you sick

[Alan @bitforth]

I’m not saying I agree with the rule, but the reasoning behind it is that cramping is not an injury per-se, and it's more like the consequence of failing to manage your conditioning, hydration, etc... so if your body breaks because the match got too physical, the rule basically is "tough shit bro"

low-class Fakerer once told Djokovic “If you’re not fit enough, then don’t play” during genuine medical timeouts.

@Sandy1667624 @EcoEclipse @eltiolisan @raulgalerad I mean, if you take normal distributions seriously, about 16% of people are genuinely dumb, and half the population is below 100 IQ.

So “lEt’s JuST tEacH EvEryone hOW 2 Use iT” it's the exact thing someone with 101 IQ would say

[Alan @bitforth]

@EcoEclipse @eltiolisan @raulgalerad Will never work. Some people are just dumb.

[Alan @bitforth]

Once upon a time, I was very into oratory and rhetoric, and these patterns show up all over classical rhetoric. Cicero was one of the most famous ones that used them (look into correctio, apophasis, metanoia, etc...)

They’re powerful because they help the speaker build a tiny dramatic arc inside a sentence (setup, reversal, and insight)

They’re also very powerful to persuade/manipulate naive people because they crate the feeling of insight even when there’s none.

Maybe that’s why AI overuses them lol

[Alan @bitforth]

Having worked on those glasses specifically, I’m not fully convinced the device can actually support all of that end to end. Not just from a raw hardware capability standpoint, but also from what APIs are exposed, what the framework allows, and what 3P developers can realistically access.

That said, it does sound fun as hell.

@0scarTG Borre una pregunta por error…

Si la evolución hubiera favorecido la violación o el infanticidio entonces tú crees que eso los convertiría en actos moralmente buenos?

[Alan @bitforth]

Eso asumiría que la fe consiste únicamente en aceptar cosas sin cuestionarlas. Y claro que existen personas que operan así.

Pero gran parte de la tradición teológica occidental consiste precisamente en examinar críticamente revelación, experiencia, razón, historia, lógica y evidencia.

Además, todos aceptamos cosas por autoridad en algún grado. Ninguno de nosotros ha replicado personalmente la relatividad, ni la mecánica cuántica.

[Alan @bitforth]

Lo que me parece antiintelectual es declarar resueltas preguntas que siguen siendo profundamente debatidas.

Por ejemplo, dices que la moralidad es evolutiva.

La evolución describe cómo adquirimos ciertas intuiciones morales o demuestra que esas intuiciones son objetivamente correctas?

Antes de que saques ejemplos del reino animal: Sí, sé que existen infanticidio, violación, canibalismo, coerción sexual y exterminio de rivales en distintas especies. La evolución puede explicar por qué aparece una conducta, pero no porque es moralmente buena.

Auschwitz fue malo porque era objetivamente malo o porque tu programación evolutiva te hace sentir que fue malo?

Y si una población evolucionara para disfrutar Auschwitz… ellos estarían moralmente equivocados o simplemente serían distintos?

Ojo: no son preguntas retóricas. Me interesa genuinamente tu respuesta. Quiero entender qué quieres decir cuando afirmas que la moralidad es evolutiva.
