Sharing thoughts on humans, sales, processes and whatever lies beyond.
Almost four years ago I walked into a startup for the first time. Today is my last day. I wanted to write something honest about what happened in between, partly because I find personal exit reflections far more interesting than company announcements (see: Reflections on OpenAI , Leaving Anthropic), and partly because I think there is real value in one person s unfiltered story. I had never…
A year and a half ago, right after I proposed to my partner, I was catching my breath after 22km on the mountain bike in the middle of nowhere green, and I started turning over what it means to be a father, and what it takes to be a good one. Unconditional love? Availability? Patience? [ ]
I was never someone who gave much importance to tracking things. Maybe it is because of the kind of (organized) mess that has followed me since I was a kid, or because I never thought it could actually help me. Every thought or idea lived in my head and stayed there at least for [ ]
This is my current map. I m putting it here so in another 4 years I can see what I got right and what I d rewrite. Actually, this list is inspired by a comment on a YC thread on Hacker News. I remember reading it and having several AHA moments, so I decided to save it. [ ]
I remember early in my marketing degree, I dreamed of breaking into the digital marketing world and managing online ads. But by my third year, I found myself building my own startup. At that point, my original dream felt so small and disconnected from who I had become. During my years working on Two Vault, [ ]
Happy New Year! I hope you enjoyed the holidays and recharged your batteries for this new year. One of the things I enjoy most at the end of the year, besides eating, is sitting down and reflecting on everything that has happened in my life or in the environment connected to my life. It has been a special [ ]
A curious experiment in learning, coding, and everything in between A non-technical person’s first attempt I often agree with those who say that building today has lost part of its value — LLMs make prototyping so fast that sometimes it feels like they’re building for you.. But building something that people love is a completely [ ]
Every day you discover something new about yourself. Some days you discover something that stays with you forever. A couple of years ago, I realized that I’m the kind of person who only feels satisfied when I’m being productive. I like figuring things out. I like making things. And I want to do as much of that as I can.
Last week, I went to get a haircut, and my barber shared his story with me — or rather, a piece of it, but one that says a lot about who he is. It’s a story I’ll probably carry with me for a long time, so I decided to post it here.
Lessons from astronauts Some months ago a re-watched an interview of Chris Hadfield discussing how astronaut see themself as a -1, 0 or a +1, referring to whether they detract, add or are a relatively neutral contributor to the mission. From that moment this stucked with me, and it’s something I often reflect on especially [ ]
