Hace mucho tiempo, cuando Twitter apenas era lanzado al mercado y Facebook era la principal plataforma de red social (habiendo reemplazado a Hi5 y MySpace), escribir mensajes por plataformas como BBM (de BlackBerry), iMessage, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, entre otros, era lo normal en mi círculo de amigos. En aquellos tiempos, sin con...

In my first ever professional role, I remember feeling very excited about the journey I was about to embark on. After almost completing my 2-year technologist degree in Information Networks, I wanted to demonstrate what I was capable of and how madly in love I was with technology. I can't quite put into words how I felt exactly, but re...

Every decision has a price, and not always in terms of money, which is the first thought that comes to mind for most people. A decision can have its price set on time, energy, attention, comfort, and even relationships. But one way or another, there is a price to everything and anything.

For the past few months, I've observed core leadership members from some organizations relying completely on LLMs to process thoughts, ideas & concerns. It's subtle, but you can spot fabricated words in almost every statement made. I am not sure what the implications for these behaviors are, and surely studies or ongoing research proje...

Hace mucho entendí lo importante que es la diversidad de opinión, y aprendí que los prejuicios son la cosa más dañina que tenemos como...

De niño, la mayoría de los libros que tenía la oportunidad de leer de manera muy similar iniciaban diciendo: “"Érase una vez"” Sin importar cuántos cuentos leyera, cabe vez que lo leía al empezar un libro nuevo sabía que iniciaría una historia nueva en que, aún yo estando en el presente, me teletransportaría a un pasado distante (gran ...

The very first continuous integration (CI) workflow I had to configure was using Jenkins back in 2018. It was an eye-opening interaction in my early career as a DevOps Engineer coming off from a more traditional Ops role. Looking back, getting used to the good ol' Jenkinsfile was no easy task. There were infinite configurations directi...

Growing up in a small town was truly an experience I wouldn’t dare regret in my lifetime. It taught me extremely valuable life lessons, I met a lot of beautiful, warm, and humble people. The air was pure and strong, the landscapes were one of a kind, the intense humid heat made the water taste like heaven, and the food (especially from...
