Tools aren’t the enemy, our intentions are. From capitalism to technology, it’s not the tools that shape our world, but how we use them. Let’s stop blaming what’s neutral and start taking responsibility for how we wield what’s in our hands.
Growth rarely happens in comfort. From personal moves to walking El Camino de Santiago, this reflection explores how discomfort shapes resilience, strength, and memorable experiences, and why seeking it intentionally can transform our lives.
I just wanted to write and code—no vibe coding, no ghostwriting AI. As tools get smarter, I find myself fighting to stay in control, to keep the process human, imperfect, and mine.
Feeling overwhelmed by constant news and digital noise? I’m shifting toward a simpler, more intentional life, fewer screens, single-purpose gadgets, and mindful walks without content. It’s not about tuning out completely but choosing where my attention goes.
Tony Fadell’s Build is part memoir, part how-to, and full of hard-earned lessons from a career shaping iconic products like the iPod and Nest. It’s honest, practical, and packed with insight — whether you’re building a startup, leading a team, or just trying to make better things.
Airport lounges are fantastic. Most offer a comfortable environment to wait for your flight, fast internet, clean bathrooms, great coffee, and decent food. These spaces are well-maintained and relaxing, with various seating options where you can eat, have a drink, get some work done, or simply unwind. Another major perk?
Guadalajara is where I was born, where my family still lives, yet it no longer feels like home. I know the streets and the people, but familiarity isn’t belonging. The city will always be a part of me, but like an old friend, I no longer truly know it. Is that sad? I’m still figuring it out.
I’ve been working on a personal coding project to stay sharp and keep learning. It’s not about making money—it’s about challenging myself, exploring new tools, and building something useful. Whether it succeeds or not, the process itself is the reward. Here’s what I’ve been working on.
After a decade in the same job, I still feel the urge to build something of my own. It’s not about chasing success but creating something meaningful—something that solves real problems and brings value. The challenge excites me, and I’m ready to take the leap again.
AI isn’t replacing software engineers or writers yet—it still makes mistakes and lacks real understanding. Right now, it’s like a smart librarian: great at finding info but not capable of deep reasoning across all domains. The key is learning to use AI effectively so we don’t get left behind.
I’ve let the world’s noise pull me away from my own work. There’s a fine line between staying informed and being consumed—I’ve drifted too far. It’s time to refocus, not to escape reality, but to protect my time, my attention, and the life I’m building.
Despite the challenges we see today, we’re living in the best era in human history. Advances in health, technology, and quality of life have transformed our world. Walking away from the event, I felt grateful—not just for the discussion, but for the time we live in.
