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/

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.

Well, we've been helping our clients with something we call Sprint Zero, which helps them unblock their internal paperwork & processes to get the conversation going, share their problems and challenges with us, so we can imagine what their next product looks like.

Well, I have succumbed to the temptation and have tried Instinct. I'm pretty Instinct-pilled, to be honest. Here's my experience so far: www.alexrodba.com/basic-instin...

Basic Instinct
I've been throwing my personal backlog at an AI agent that lives in WhatsApp: deleting 300 abandoned accounts, buying things, filling forms. The interesting metric is not whether it's faster than me. ...

Following up on our previous article about how to run performance reviews using AI, this one expands on what works well and what doesn't. Read it here: marsbased.com/blog/2026/09...

The judgment gap in AI
AI gathers review evidence better than any human, but lacks context. Here’s why human judgment still drives our final performance ratings.

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.

We are handing this community over to members who still use it, and I will name them in a couple of weeks. Thank you for the eleven years.

What did happen, over eleven years: hires, clients, co-founders, lots of meetups, funding intros and a fair lot of friendships. That was the entire point, and it worked more often than these things usually do.

We've been passing the baton of other community projects like Startup Digest or Startup Grind, and now it's time for us to let go of this Slack community.

MarsBased is now 30 people strong and it demands a strong focus on my side. We're riding the AI wave strongly and we're extremely excited to lead the way for other companies to follow.

Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit @alexrodba.com · 08/09/2026
On October 1st, I am stepping down as its host. Our focus has moved elsewhere, and this community deserves someone who is actually present in it. It has been quiet for a long time and that is on me. Also, most interactions happen in private, so there's no point in keeping channels at all, then.

Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit @alexrodba.com · 08/09/2026
It started as a platform to bridge the gap between Startup Grind Barcelona events but it soon became event agnostic, and was home to other communities and even some coworking spaces ran their private community on it, too. We called it StartupsBCN. Quite an imagination!

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.
