“En RD no hay personal calificado.”

…Proceden a contratar una multinacional que termina subcontratando exactamente el mismo capital humano que descartaron inicialmente, pero ahora facturándoles en dólares, con slides en inglés y un “know-how” que casi nunca aparece. 😜😝

TIL: "Chaos engineering is a discipline that aims to improve confidence in fault-tolerance mechanisms through experiments such as deliberately injecting faults" (DDIA, Martin Kleppmann)

Spring: The Documentary arrives 7th May! 🍃

Spring didn’t start as a framework, it started as a reaction to complexity in enterprise Java.

What followed was a movement that redefined how modern applications are built, from Spring Boot to the cloud era.

This is the story behind one of the most influential technologies in software.

@Brayanmnz_, this takes me back to our “OK, But What About Predictive AI?” talk:

"Bring the model to the data, not the data to the model"

[Rafael Almonte @jralmontec]

"When operating on large volumes of data, rather than transferring the data from storage to a separate machine that processes it, it can be faster to bring the computation to the machine that already has the data" - Martin Kleppmann, DDIA

@GustavoValverde I have this setup!

The most straightforward way is just using aliases in your .zshrc / .bashrc to switch CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR per project. For example:

alias claude-project-one="CLAUDE_CONFIG_DIR=~/.claude-work claude"
