Aquesta setmana, a Foc a Terra, us portem un episodi on parlem d'Instinct i els assistents personals tipus Grok Bot i Muse, entre molts d'altres. Explico com em vaig comprar la samarreta d'Obeses amb aquest assistent personal, @arnautordera.bsky.social 🤘 focaterra.cat/episodi/251/

Instint bàsic — Foc a Terra

Seeing all these "community houses" in big cities makes me wonder how far are they from reality. Most builders won't show up. Only people with spare time to learn from others in a very slow setup: events.

This year, we're seeing more prospective clients coming up with "i want to build something with AI" but don't know exactly what, when and how.

Esta semana, en el podcast de MarsBased, os traemos a Cristian Planas para ver si conseguimos enterrar de una vez por todas lo de que Rails no escala. No lo conseguiremos, pero al menos lo pasamos en grande con la charla. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM5-...

My co-founder Jordi Vendrell has written an article on what we all think we know but fail to act on it: AI doesn't have your judgment, but it can back it up with lots of data.

One of the things that'll make me fully embrace agentic & autonomous AI is the amount and duration of insufferably long animations and transitions in today's software. It's killing me every time.

Independence is a strategy, not a constraint. No investors means we answer to our clients and our team, and we get to play the long game on our own terms. been 12 years like this and feels like we can do another 12 💪

MarsBased has never had one gigantic fuck-up that almost killed the company. No near-shutdowns, no layoffs, no steps back. Why? no investors, no external shareholders. And years of profitability that gave us cash reserves and optionality.

I've been lately thinking through whether building your own software with real security investment can actually be safer than relying on big incumbents, landing on the idea that it's less about budget size and more about consistency and discipline day to day.

Amazed and appalled at how many huge companies (some publicly traded) that still run on UX's from 20 years ago. Their backends must be from 40 years ago.

Bad devs use AI to break things faster. Good devs use AI to fix things faster. Great devs use AI to fix things before you notice they broke. The best use AI so nothing breaks at all.

"[Investor] recently shared your profile with me" is the most common lie dodgy founders use in lieu of warm intros. If you can't get a warm intro, don't lie.

Does the "show less like this" button actually do anything on LinkedIn? I've been using it for months, trying to get fewer status updates and irrelevant notifications, but they just seem to grow week after week. Every day I wake up to 20-30 notifications that bring zero value to my feed.
