• Messaging as a customer channel and its relationship to cost of labour: interesting thoughts from Mark Zuckerberg in this interview by Stripe’s co-CEO John Collison.
• Happy to see that almost no one has picked up on the fact that Mark Z. does not do any 1-1s with his reports (“if you need to be managed you cannot report to me”). Without much interpretation, it could have become the next let’s eliminate Product Management roles that created so much unnecessary pain back in the day.
• Now that the monorepo vs multirepo conversation has gone quiet, it might be time to open that can of worms again. This time for a valid reason: How will genAI tools perform on each, as today’s tooling is relying mostly on single repos as context?
• Someone recommended Auto OOO on Reddit! Great seeing that tools that I build for myself are useful to others.

• I upgraded the blogging engine for this site from an outdated version of Hugo (0.92.2) to the latest release (0.147.0). This update also required refreshing the theme (Ananke). I’ve documented my experiences with blogging engines here, here, and here. Despite these updates, I’m still not fully satisfied, and I believe my thoughts on Hugo itself could warrant a dedicated post. A discussion on Hacker News recently caught my attention and brought back many memories.
• Nitro, the web server behind Nuxt, has released a new version. This update includes a (very) small contribution from me.
• The push for a full return to the office –working onsite five days a week– feels inevitable. The driving factors seem to be poor management and the tolerance of low productivity in some workplaces.

• My attempt to write more frequently by sharing random updates clearly failed (just look at when I published the last one).
• I had a short and enjoyable vibe coding session today. You can check out the result. Over the past year, I’ve been dedicating significant time to learning DJing, and building a music library is a big part of that. Coding credits go to Gemini Pro 2.5.
• On a related note, I really enjoyed this feature on Avalon Emerson.
• This rant on Vercel’s approach with Next.js deserved more attention on HN (though not surprising it didn’t). It offers valuable insights, even if there’s a hint of bad blood.
• I discovered a great blog about scaling (tech) organizations: Stay SaaSy. The content is much deeper than the typical superficial advice you often find on LinkedIn (the vendemotos crowd that we say in Spanish).
• Tricking good faith social groups with LLMs, very sad to read. For some reason, I could not avoid connecting this to the Bergier Commission.

Note: I will be moving to short notes in addition to longer form content, inspired by rbv.

• Trying to do anything meaningful automating rekordbox is painful. pyrekordbox and DJ-Tools make it a bit less… but not a lot.
• Intuition is generally rooted in years of experience and this quote from Javi Santana is gold: “you can process about 500MB in one second on a single machine” (see Learnings after 4 years working with +50 companies on data engineering projects).
• I opened my BlueSky account and created the Tuenti Mafia Starter Pack. So far, refreshing.
• Juan (of Headscale fame) shared some interesting ideas on leveraging the Certificate Transparency Logs for other things.

Not so long ago, I was writing about measuring Apps Script function performance, in particular those offered as part of the environment by Google. As add-ons get more complex and we rely more on other APIs that we have no control over, measuring how much we are making the user wait becomes important.

During the last few months, as I was implementing a few scripts on Google’s Apps Script, I needed to answer the question of what is the right place to store data.

A few years ago, after being bored of watching hundreds and thousands of failed ssh login attempts to my home server, I asked myself: what are these folks trying to bruteforce with? OpenSSH would log the username, but that’s it.

I did not find a clear set of instructions on how to enable full disk encryption on a newer Dell XPS 9320 that came with Ubuntu pre-installed. This machine is now replacing an older XPS13 (9360) that runs Linux like a charm but was feeling the effects of time. What I learnt so far:

Bringing this up as part of the blog so that it does not get lost.

Back in 2020, Ed suggested that I presented at Geomob BCN, an event for geospatial enthusiasts, and that I shared some of the old school learnings from being exposed to the geo space back in the day (for reference, we are talking ~2006). So, without knowing much what I would be taking about, I put together some slides that, in the end, looked quite interesting and that the audience engaged with.
