Interesante este vídeo sobre cómo vive una oficina NBA los momentos previos a un traspaso gordo, en este caso el de LaMelo Ball
Lo fácil que es imaginar traspasos en una Trade Machine y no quiero ni pensar lo complicado que debe ser decidir ejecutarlo
Hace años tuve el placer de participar en la edición de Todos somos estrellas, documental sobre Tabletom en el que se entrevistaba a Ricardo Pachón. Su testimonio vale oro.
Un alma caritativa tuvo a bien subirlo a YouTube, así que podéis disfrutarlo todavía por aquí. https://t.co/xuPTCYQLzH
'Veneno' de Kiko Veneno.
'Blues de la Frontera' de Pata Negra (Raimundo y Rafael Amador).

'La leyenda del tiempo', 'Calle Real' y 'Soy gitano' de Camarón.
Ha muerto Ricardo Pachón, el productor más importante e influyente del flamenco moderno y del flamenrock andaluz. Casi na'.
Descanse en paz, maestro.
La Málaga en la que crecí en los 90. El puerto era más feo y había menos museos, pero una pareja joven de clase media podía comprarse un piso, tener hijos, un par de coches, e irse todos los años de vacaciones. No había que mejorarlo, solo preservarlo. Nos lo han robado todo.
No, hostia, no lo están ni de lejos. Déjate ya de tanta tontá motivacional, Dan, copón. Vamos tirando, hacemos lo que podemos, tenemos nuestros vicios, manías, defectos y que salga el sol por Antequera. Coño ya con lo aspiracional y la eficiencia y la madre que os parió a todos.
El epítome de defensa completo, tan duro y expeditivo como jerarca y líder; elegante como sólo un italiano puede ser; eficaz, inteligente, sutil y demoledor a partes iguales; pieza sobre la que orbitó una de las mayores revoluciones tácticas de la historia del fútbol, la línea adelantada y el fuera de juego como elemento activo y no pasivo.
Descanse en paz un mito, una leyenda, alguien que en verdad lo fue todo para la posición de central, paea el Milan y para Italia, haciendo de esos tres entes algo muy superior a lo que eran antes de su existencia.
Franco Baresi, un indiscutible Dios del fútbol.
La Storia del Milan è in lacrime per la scomparsa di Franco Baresi. Il suo esempio e la sua profondità saranno, per sempre come la sua maglia numero 6, parte integrante e fondamentale del DNA e del cammino di tutto il Club. Le condoglianze che AC Milan porge alla famiglia tutta di Franco Baresi sono le stesse che ogni tifoso rossonero fa a sé stesso in un'ora così dura.
The entire history of AC Milan is in tears following the passing of Franco Baresi. His example and integrity will be forever etched into the Club's DNA, just as his iconic number 6 shirt is. The condolences AC Milan extends to Franco Baresi's family at such a difficult time are shared by every Rossonero, who feels this loss as their own.
Sometimes I would wonder if Glen Hansard really existed….
Seriously, he was such an angelic presence… not otherworldly…in fact, very present this presence…
A smiling rascal if you needed him to be… this most musical and mischievous archangel of Ballymun… no airs, plenty of graces...
Of course, Glen was the shining star of the Christmas Eve busk… sometimes the only one reminding the rest of us that Christmas began with a refugee born in a manger, which is hardly a step from living on the street.
To be utterly yourself by being more interested in others - a clue for any of us trying out different personas. He really was who you thought he was. He could never walk by a person living rough without checking they were OK… and more than that, he worked very hard so that less people had to live on the streets in the first place.
When the crowds got bigger and for safety’s sake Glen had to agree to move the busk to a stage kindly provided outside The Gaiety Theatre, he would say 'we’ll give it our best but it’s not a busk if we’re not on the street!’ …because that’s who he was - a performer at eye level in any situation. The stage was a separation he wouldn’t recognize. Of all the grand and gigantic venues he and The Frames played, you sensed the street was his most favoured place to perform. And street people, his favourite audience.
Voice of the streets. A choir of angels in one man. The rest of us blessed to stand there beside our very own and very earthed Angel Gabriel… All of us welcome in his choir, whatever shape or form.
….and I’m telling myself this morning that if he never existed, then he can never cease to exist. For me, he will always be everywhere I see a coin spinning into an open guitar case.
May you rest in the peace you gave to so many.
Bono

Mi Ítaca es una casa azul en lo alto de una pequeña colina donde mi abuela da de comer a sus gallinas, atiende un huerto y vigila una empanada de xoubas en su horno de leña. Hace unas semanas supe que nunca llegaré allí. Mi columna hoy en @el_pais https://t.co/OGxbGgY3h7
The speed at which a product is developed doesn't inherently make the product better or worse. The number of commits doesn't make the product better or worse. The number of people or agents working on it doesn't make it better or worse. The number of hours you’re pouring into it doesn’t make it better or worse. Working on a weekend, or late into the evening, doesn’t make it better or worse. Talking about these things sounds like it’s talking about the product, but it’s not talking about the product.
Those are all development metrics and styles of work. They don't speak to the product itself. They're all back of the house. Important to those making the work, but not inherently important to the people using the work.
Development metrics and style say nothing about fit. They say nothing about quality. They say nothing about clarity. They say nothing about usability. They say nothing about utility. They say nothing about performance. They say nothing about how customers feel when they use your product.
It's like reviewing a restaurant by talking about how many cooks were in the kitchen, how long the shift lasted, how many orders they fired, or how late they stayed cleaning up. None of that tells you about the meal, the product, the customer’s experience.
Mistaking making for the thing you've made is like confusing the kitchen for the meal or the blueprint for the building. They're connected, but they're not the same thing. One of them matters a whole lot more than the other.
