@aiglesiasfraga @mike_arias esta es su intervención, Sr Iglesias? ante una crítica estructurada está bien ofrecer algo de argumento o siguientes pasos. Si no esto es simple clickbaiting a base de criticar. Si es eso, entonces bien, todo ecosistema necesita trolls. Aunq con su perfil, estaría meior aportar

@diegomarino @javisantana hay un libro buenisimo de Brad Feld sobre Boards... regalo asi de indirecta quiza? ;)

@Gsnchez felicidades por el proyecto! creo que tu razonamiento es un buen ejemplo de cuando algo que es un "side project" deberia evolucionar a estructura de empresa. Por supuesto hay mas q validar, pero ya al menos se ve q hace falta un equipo

[Ricardo Varela @phobeo]

@javisantana @dei_biz justo asi se empieza lo segundo, si..

[Ricardo Varela @phobeo]

@javisantana felicidades por la adquisicion!

Want to become high-agency?

Stop assuming the world is rigid. It's not. Your assumptions are. Agency is a ladder you climb one rung at a time, and most people are stuck at the bottom.

Here's how to climb the ladder :

@Lurquizu esto me ha recordado al mitico "Memorias de un ingeniero" de @fuckowski. Si no lo has leido, Laura, recomendado para echar un ratito de Domingo (son historias cortas).

@samuelgil in @LivinkCoworking in Madrid there is a calisthenics area, in case you feel like visiting

@jlantunez @elwatto @aasuero yo creo q hicieron de lo mejorcito de contenido q existe para founders y que aun no han necesitado rehacerlo porque sigue aplicando (eg: startup school) Creo q los podcast necesitan mucha repeticion y meter paja, o basarse en personalidades, y no suelen evolucionar bien

[Ricardo Varela @phobeo]

@Jongonzlz @benjaminakar i started a paper on exactly this. It would make a lot of sense and open the viz to be useful also for employers, apart from employees (and maybe even add some empathy). Would be great to see added (and/or happy to help if needed)

@flanagrama @Hagen_Tomm @davidalvarezdlt Yo creo q si quieres hacer el "un fondo es una startup" es mas bien startup post series B-C, ya con dinero. En un fondo nadie esta 2 años sin cobrar o pagandose minimo para destinarlo a contratar, ni les va la vida en ello. Es una postura un poco mas comoda (que no digo q facil)

@Gmfdsr @agileando +1 a Trajes Guzmán. De lo mejorcito, incluso comparando con Londres

@matallo @javisantana @paul_asjes hombres sexys en tu zona.
Pasadlo genial! :)

“It’s just that all of these Caribbean resorts look exactly the same to me. It’s just a random beach.”

“Oh I see. You think this has nothing to do with you. You sit at your laptop, and you select… I don’t know, that all-inclusive resort for instance, because you’re trying to tell the world that you take yourself too seriously to care about what cookie-cutter consumerist hotel your parents made you go to.

But what you don’t know is that hotel isn’t just all-inclusive, it’s not Ixtapa, it’s not Zihuatanejo. It’s actually Cancún. You’re also blithely unaware of the fact that in the late 60s, Mexico ran a huge trade deficit with the US. They were industrializing rapidly, importing machinery and materials that had to be paid for in dollars. Then I believe it was INFRATUR, wasn’t it, that actually spent months building a computer model, feeding data to an IBM 360 to analyze Mexico’s entire coastline, evaluating climate, beach quality, accessibility, and development costs.

Then they identified Cancún as a strategic tourism development zone, deliberately modeled on postwar Mediterranean resort economies. By the mid-1990s, major U.S. and European hotel chains standardized the all-inclusive resort model there. That model was then replicated, refined, and exported across the Caribbean.

Eventually, that choice filtered down through Expedia algorithms, airline bundle deals, and trickled on down into some TikTok’s influencer video which you no doubt watched in bed doom scrolling. However, Cancún represents billions of dollars in coordinated state planning, private capital, labor arbitrage, and tourism dependency. Tens of thousands of jobs. Entire regional supply chains.

And it’s sort of comical that you think you simply picked "a random beach" when in fact you’re sipping a piña colada at a resort selected for you by the Mexican federal government’s years-long optimization process… from a bunch of random beaches.”

@victorianoi @jemonleon @davidalvarezdlt a ver, mas hablantes pero que "gastan" menos.
Pero dicho eso, 100% con Victoriano que es un formato muy bueno y un buen nicho.

@manu__martinm @elwatto @psluaces @javisantana @eduardomanchon @lvalverde mi recomendación Manu es q lo montes tú (con unos amigos, si puede ser). En la @etsii de Sevilla montamos muchas asociaciones y eventos, ayudados por profesores a veces, pero otras solos, para que se sembrara un poco este tipo de idea. Y no parece haber ido mal.

[Ricardo Varela @phobeo]

@javisantana @diegomarino yo te apoyo porque tambien haria lo mismo. Eso si, sabiendo en mi cabeza que es un paso mas hacia...

[Ricardo Varela @phobeo]

@Recuenco si al minarquismo no le añades algo básico de educación y sanidad no te lo compra casi nadie, creo (al menos comparativamente). Con eso, ya quizá...

[Ricardo Varela @phobeo]

i think Miguel meant "persisting through adversity", but his version is shorter :P
But yep, 100% this

[Miguel Carranza @elwatto]

@samsessler Work hard on the days you need to work hard, respect your rest days or you’ll get injured. In the end it’s all about balance, showing up for a long time, and eating a lot of crap. No shortcuts.

[Ricardo Varela @phobeo]

@samuelgil yo creo q ha empezado a priorizar llevar su mensaje a publico general (y mas amplio), y eso requiere cambios, y eso genera haters. No se si se puede hacer esa progresion sin liarla
