iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Joana Moll and Wassim Z. Alsindi conversations on Privacy, Power and the Future of Internet. I think this was particularly *enlightening*.

I've never taken Adderall but I think that having easy access here to jamón serrano + olive oil from supermarkets at a reasonable price (for now 🤞) has helped me with focus and concentración a lot. It's probably one of my unfair advantages :)

Here is another interesting piece of hardware: an old portable phone from the US Army used during WWII. This one is *very* heavy.

As part of the phones collection, here is a comparison across generations (from bottom to top): present smartphone, Motorola folding phone, non-duplex phone dated around WWII.

Next week I'm attending Sónar+D in Barcelona. I'll be arriving to the city on Wednesday night. I'll be happy to meet, chat audio and share some anecdotes if you are around!

While working on one of our projects at @afectivo.es this morning, I've just remembered one of my GDC 2024 talk slides. Old and simple vs new, shiny and complex. *Finger pointing at a sign* Full presentation PDF is here in case you missed it (free access) gdcvault.com/play/1034857...

Assess and evaluate what state-of-the-art technology and research brings to the table when solving production problems
Is old and simple maybe preferred to new, shiny and complex?

First morning at #SouthSummit26 Madrid! I've heard some echoes from the past projected into the future while grounded in the present. Alignment, convergence, growth, scaling, AI (of course), Europe and beyond. Now it's time for the most important activity of the day: having lunch back at home.

In case you didn't know, to hopefully avoid surprises, you can set rate/budget limits in the GitHub dashboard. Click on the green "+ New Budget" button and select Copilot. It took me some time to find it this morning.

The participants in this study don't seem to be very diverse, sadly.

The perceived productivity impact seems to be about the same/somewhat better. I think this also relates to my experiences with e.g. Claude, though it depends a lot on the task, programming language and my previous knowledge of the problem I'm trying to solve with code.

Anticipated disappointment if AI tools removed.

There's some interesting data on concerns. Majority of people in the study still concerned about quality and security (no surprise, I guess).

Just got "Designing the User Experience of Game Development Tools, 2nd Ed" book from the post. Many thanks to @davidlightbown.bsky.social for sending me a signed copy! I think it's a must read if you are serious about #gamedev tools development and beyond. *Including a quote from yours truly

Wife is out with her girl friends, and I'm catching up with this movie classic at home.

Jorge Garcia @jorgegarciamartin.com · 24/03/2026

People close to me in my family and at work told me "you can't do this, you can't do that". By that time I thought they said it because of my lack of talent, grit, or capactiy. I later realised that they said it because of my lack of privilege or money. Here I am years later... still fighting.

Today marks an important milestone for @afectivo.es. We have been granted access to the coworking space in the Carabanchel Business Incubator. This is the biggest public incubator in Madrid. We look forward to continuing our journey here while we build and support innovative projects with purpose.

Last night I couldn't sleep so I continued reading "Uncertain" from Maggie Jackson. My last employer sent me a hard copy (thanks EA). Main takeaway that appears at the beginning of the book that helped me sleep:

I've just registered the logo(s) for Afecto (the audio and music workflows tool we are building at @afectivo.es) so I guess it's already safe to share them here.
