@Esto_tb_pasara Mi resumen: lo he pasado muy bien (hay cierto punto masoquista en la experiencia), he aprendido bastante y he conocido a gente maravillosa a las que ahora considero amigos. Si dudas, prueba a apuntarte antes a alguna cata en formato diploma
Llevo unos días rumiando el apuntarme al WSET Diploma (por gusto, no tengo interés profesional). El L3 lo disfruté bastante y no me pareció para tanto en cuanto a dificultad. ¿Opiniones?
@Esto_tb_pasara Otro handicap es el inglés (si no te manejas con soltura, ni se te ocurra apuntarte), y por supuesto el precio (además de la matrícula y lo que te gastes en vino, si lo haces Londres los vuelos, hoteles, etc. añaden un coste alto a la matrícula)
En la época en la que salía por la noche te “juzgaban” y te dejaban entrar o no en una discoteca. Ahora es si te ponen una botella en un restaurante o no eres digno para esa referencia y la guardan para otros.
Since my last tweet sparked so much interest, here is another “funny” story about the Spanish administration.
One day I checked my bank account and saw a €590 charge I did not recognize. After 20 min on the phone whit my bank, I learned Hacienda had seized the money. They gave me a case number.
I started calling to understand why. No one would explain it over the phone. They could not verify my identity remotely. I had to go in person. The next appointment was in three weeks.
At the appointment, they told me a commercial space I owned was being used as a home. Illegal.
I told them I had sold it a year earlier, and that when I owned it, it was rented as storage. 20 sqm. One open room.
They said THEY HAD PROOF and showed me photos. The photos were not my shop.
The building has three street level shops: 1, 2, 3. The inspector mixed them up. He took photos of shop 1 but wrote shop 3 in some forms.
The infraction happened three years earlier. Shop 1 was notified repeatedly and did nothing about it. When it was time to collect, they charged shop 3. That was me.
The photos showed a kitchen and a bedroom. My shop was a single 20 sqm space. They could verify that in public property records.
They said they needed an inspection. Next available slot: two months.
I repeated that I no longer owned the property. I could not give access to something that was not mine.
They escalated the case. Over the next year, I received three calls. Each time I had to explain everything again. Each time they asked if I could get the new owner to give access. I did not know the new owner. They said they would call back.
Finally, someone senior called. He said this would be the last time they called if I was not willing to cooperate. I said I couldn’t do what they asked, no matter how much I wanted to. He said there was nothing they could do.
AND THAT IS HOW I LOST €590, spent 10 to 12 hours on calls and visits, and carried this issue in my head for over a year.
Controversial take:
"Senior developer" doesn't mean 10 years of experience.
It means you've mass-deleted production data at least once, mass-emailed customers by accident, and mass-deployed on Friday.
The "senior" is trauma, not tenure. 😅

Por si no teníamos suficiente con las turras del "Spotify wrapped", ahora llega el "LinkedIn wrapped". Claro, cuéntanos con quién has generado más sinergias este año, nos interesa muchísimo saberlo.
@QuintanaNovalbo@dvarrui Totalmente de acuerdo. Yo uso el cliente de línea de comandos por rapidez, pero también he usado Sourcetree o lazygit, por ejemplo. Usar unos u otros no te hace mejor o peor profesional; entender lo que hay por debajo, usar mensajes de commit relevantes, etc. sí.
