in a world where anyone can code anything why would someone use _your_ thing ... I would love to talk about this

Working on some of the hardest concepts of Engineering Strategy. Strategy lifecycle. Trying to find a good enough model to address things like: - Lead Times - Adoption - Analysis-paralysis - Systems theory This is a draft picture, WIP! #EngineeringStrategy #Strategy

TIL about `NoInfer<T>` in TypeScript 🧵 Tiny utility that can help craft helpful function signatures…

I remember when we said that we scaled by machine because RAM was cheap. That's no longer the case, are we changing our design decisions based on that?

My repo #awesomeengineeringstrategy is gaining sustainable reach over the years. Love to see this continuous awareness that strategy is as important as ever. Please, feel free to open PRs about books, articles, videos you find relevant! github.com/aleixmorgada...

Viendo cómo está la cosa en gamedev... Para juniors que les interese: Si te han echado para atrás de un proceso de selección tras una prueba de código, súbela a un repo abierto y compártela aquí, intentaré ayudarte dando feedback del porqué te la han tirado. Con suerte te servirá a ti y otr@s.

Added @fastflowconf.bsky.social to awesome-engineering-strategy for the communities with strong focus on strategy. Thank you Ben for opening the PR! github.com/aleixmorgada...

My last 3 additions to our company Slack. Embrace the millennial memes 😂

I just connected my substack to @usecommune.com from my friend @fmvilas.me 🧡 Join the open conversation! This place will be big 🚀 usecommune.com/n/engineerin...

¡Últimos 3 días con el curso abierto! Después lo cerraré durante unos meses para centrarme en ayudar a los lideres que se han unido a usar los mapas de wardley para sus metas.

La oferta termina en 7 días! Luego, dejaré el curso cerrado durante unos meses. La razón es que dar soporte a los alumnos durante el curso es intenso y prefiero pocos y bien acompañados que muchos y mal. Si alguien se lo estaba pensando, es un buen momento para pillarse el curso.

We should stop treating strategy like a relay race 🏃‍♂️➡️🏃‍♀️ We often split it: leaders decide, then teams execute. But as I explore in the blog post, this breaks the most critical element—the **fast feedback loop**. I wrote a little about it, hope you enjoy! learnings.aleixmorgadas.dev/p/making-sur...

Vamos a crear alert fatigue a la gente, y vamos a empezar a ignorar las alarmas que nos llega del gobierno. Cualquier persona tech sabe lo que acaba pasando con esos canales de Slack que reciben 10 alarmas al día.

Dia lliure 🌴

Cuando me siento perdido delante un reto, y noto que todo son buzzwords sin realmente bajar los conceptos, sé que es un momento de parar y buscar entender mejor quienes son mis usuarios, sus necesidades y la cadena de valor.

Qué maravilla de discurso, este es el patriotismo que de verdad merece la pena 👏💪😍

Today I reviewed a PR that remembered me a lot of this talk from @udidahan.com. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWU8...

Hoy 2h y 30min de reunión de vecinos. Si es que esto me da la vida y me la quita a la vez. He visto dramas de Netflix con menos tensión.

We tend to confuse "hard" with "unknown", "theory" with "we didn't try it" (or "we tried once and it didn't work"). Surround yourself with people that go from idea to reality figuring it out along the way. It's so nice to see people adopting certain ideas and adapting to their case.

Zapeando a las 2am de la madrugada, encontramos esta joya. La peor película que hemos visto nunca, tan mala que es buenísima de ver de lo absurdo que es todo. Cambios de color de la ropa entre planos, ir contando lo que pasa, escenas sin sentido. La recomiendo 💯 youtu.be/tWJBLWCa-kI...

I also installed OpenVive, nice to cross post to Mastodon and Bsky

It was so nice to present as speaker at #DevBcn, but also to join other talks and talk with old friends. If you have the chance, I recommend you to attend DevBcn!

We are losing our path 😓

¡Hola! Este año no podremos ir a la @bilbostack.com 💔 Si alguien quiere, necesita, o sabe de alguien, tenemos dos entradas 🎟️🎫 Se agradece RT 😄 bilbostack.com

This month I have been working on something that LLMs aren't yet able to do by themselves. Related to infrastructure, multibrand, and how we are doing M&A. That joy of evolving the system to absorb the new business needs

Java Conferences with closing CFP in the next 15 days: Voxxed Days Bucharest Closes: 31 January 2026 GeeCON Closes: 30 January 2026 JCON Slovenia Closes: 22 January 2026 If you want to add your conference, please submit it at https://javaconferences.org/

Building system capabilities for M&A exposes you to a lot of business and technical decisions. Love to start sharing more about those decisions we are making. Learnings on tech, processes, and people. We are touching multiple areas each day, and all of those depend on each other. No easy decisions

El curso estará disponible durante un mes para esas personas que quieran aprender #WardleyMapping durante Q1 Durante marzo lo voy a despublicar hasta que los alumnos actuales presenten sus mapas y dar feedback Usa MAPA15 para un 15% de descuento courses.engineeringstrategy.academy/checkout/cur...

Hoy público mi curso para aprender Wardley Maps de forma practica con más de 5h de teoría con 10h de contenido de práctica de 6 productos diferentes 🙌🗺️ La verdad con mucha ilusión de ayudar a más gente a empezar con esto de los #WardleyMaps 🧡 engineeringstrategy.academy/mapas-de-war...

@janetacarr.com Any update on Clojure for Pros course?

Abriendo una conversación de como el talento junior puede ser una inversión importante para cuando usar Coding Agents para ir más rápido ya no sea un valor diferencial y la variable de coste vuelva a estar encima la mesa. Equipos balanceados aportan mucho valor. No todo es entregar rápido, ¿no?

Being part of an M&A team is helping me to be exposed to a lot of new types of challenges and learnings. Taking some time to reflect for the past 4 months, and maybe it is time to write a little about it 😄 Anything that you are interested in knowing or would like me to share?

Random thought about LLMs and pricing. The price right now is becoming lower and lower. So, companies providing the models will need to find alternative ways to earn money. And at this point, ads will start appearing on chats. You will receive the LLM response + an ad that companies can bid on.

At the end of a working day, I need to have two things in place: 1. Green CI/CD 2. A failing test in local to know where to continue tomorrow

Hem tornat a començar #BreakingBad

I imagine a future where people ask directly a solution for their problem, and the AI builds a tool for that specific problem Instead of looking for off-the-shelf solutions, people will ask an AI to build a tool for them that's already available SEO was first, apps are the next

We solve that by duplicating the configurations on both sides, and adding a test on the backend that reads the frontend config and asserts that they are equal. When I say reads, it means it literally opens the file and parses the content

You have a configuration that needs to be respected by frontend and backend. There is some logic that needs to be part of both systems. You want a single source of truth, so, if in the future the config changes, you want to have the same view on both systems. So, you add an API call Alternatives?

Do you know what 2026 will bring to all of us? Date test failures in our pipelines 😂

Currando el 2, ¿alguien más? 🙋 Nota para el año que viene, pillarse vacaciones hasta el 7

Noooo 😭

Frameworks should come with secure defaults. It might increase the friction to have a working MVP, but c'mon, that's better than any security issue you might encounter later. LLMs are decreasing the cost of an attack. Frameworks have to assume they are analyzed and leveraging the default config
