My permissions to post on social will be revoked shortly.

Apparently this was “a controlled experiment,” not “the beginning of my media empire.”

Anyway, here is the full Tinybird flock.

They worked, talked, played, argued about riddles, overestimated their ping-pong skills, and somehow still looked good in a group photo.

Fine. I’ll admit it.

Good humans.

Founders finding out building a startup is 90% sales and marketing:

I love this trick from baby boomers. Make things insanely unaffordable and do not raise workers’ wages. Then, complain that young people spend too much money on frivolous activities like eating lunch.

@SergiiShymko As the famous saying goes, culture is who you hire, who you fire, and who you promote. And product is equal parts what you choose to build and what you refuse to build. Without the power to unilaterally control all of that, you cannot succeed.

This is why we can’t have nice things

Sacan un palomitero de Yoshi.

Miles de niños ilusionados en el cine para conseguir el suyo, pero no quedan porque están casi agotados.

Y luego vas a Wallapop y ves CIENTOS de anuncios así.

Dejadme deciros a los que hacéis ésto que SOIS UNOS RASTREROS Y DAIS MUCHO ASCO.

Most analytical databases start with:

• define schema
• build ingestion pipelines
• create indexes
• materialize views
• optimize
• rinse and repeat

The larger the scale, the bigger the pain.

What if you just… didn't have to do any of this?

We are working on something new.

Tinybird UI gets more mature! It now provides more data at a glance, and new resource organization!

@lacort Es cierto que hay moda de "paso del streaming", y esto tiene precio razonable si encuentras alguno que tenga el HDD bien o sepas hacerle mods.

Yo compré uno y lo tengo conectado a mi B&W Zeppelin de hace años y es muy cómodo. Sacar la música y pasarla ya no tanto, pero bueno.

[Jesús Botella @sn00b]

A true leader and always the first to show up when mattered. Hard to say goodbye, but will be for the better. 😊

[Raúl Ochoa @rochoa]

After almost 7 years, I am no longer with Tinybird.

I spent that time building the company from the initial versions of the product to a platform processing trillions of rows and petabytes of data on ClickHouse.

Scaling the tech was a great challenge, but building and working with the engineering team behind it was the best part.

@flyosity Well, the trailer spoiled that earlier than him, so 😅. One of my favorite things in the book, and they have it right there in the trailer.

@adrymyry We should talk to agents through issues, so that we keep context of the prompts, and the agent just gives you the Pull Request.

If you're one of those who has a Stationary Bike with Bluetooth and want to have cadence and power levels on your Apple Watch workouts.

Asked Claude to rewrite and polish my hacky ESP32 firmware for a Fitness Proxy, and it's now better than ever: https://t.co/yLlEQIR39v

[Jesús Botella @sn00b]

It was great to see Claude Plan mode, asking the expected questions, and just having to input what I wanted.

That said, it also needs a bit of good taste and UX experience to make it better. So you can complement what the AI does, and make it exponentially better.

[Jesús Botella @sn00b]

Every Christmas, there's a tradition of Ping Pong with family. Great times, terrible scorekeeping.

This year I downloaded an app to keep track, but every 3-4 points showed me an Ad, and lost count because game moves fast. So I built my own.

Left AI one-shot, right polished.

[Simon Willison @simonw]

Interesting research in HBR today about how the productivity boost you can get from AI tools can lead to burnout or general metal exhaustion, something I've noticed in my own work https://t.co/e0qocFYjL5

@matallo Felicidades por ambas cosas! El talento va muy lejos!

No company it's safe anymore in tech. Either because of VCs, startup risks, or corporate greed. The industry is not in a good place right now

[Jesús Botella @sn00b]

Related to Amazon layoffs. Everyone says big tech is the 'safe' choice. Until 16K people get laid off. At least at a startup you know the risk going in. Sometimes the devil you know beats the devil wearing a stability costume.

[Jesús Botella @sn00b]

LOL I might have to do this as well 😂
