What I listen and read
I don't consume content to disconnect my brain, but to stimulate it. I love learning and staying up to date in tech and society, but I need it to be told by people with personality, own criteria, and a sense of humor. I run away from institutional or sweetened content. This is my list, grouped by what currently has me hooked.
podcasts
What I listen
AI & Stochastic 02
AI without the boring corporate hype. Here they talk about what's really happening in the sector, with criteria, up-to-the-minute news, and a rogue touch. I listen to it to separate the signal from the noise.
Thinking & Problem Solving 03
The format of a "long chat between friends who know a lot about their stuff." Complex thinking and problem solving mixed with pop references, dark humor, and zero posturing. I leave every episode with my head spinning.
The natural extension of Heavy Mental. If you like the complex thinking and the unfiltered conversation of the house, here you find more of that same vibe directly from the community.
A genuine conversation space for curious minds learning to learn. Roberto Canales and Iván Carrillo transfer real experiences, intergenerational learnings, professional development, and strategic vision without beating around the bush or offering magic formulas.
Business & Startups 01
It keeps me glued to the startup ecosystem, investment, and internet business in Spanish. Direct, analytical, and straightforward tone: exactly what I need to not lose track of the sector.
Apple & Tech 01
My daily dose of Apple and tech news. Short pills, straight to the point but always with their own criteria. Perfect for staying updated without losing half an hour.
Culture & Criticism 02
This brings out my most skeptical side. I like talk shows where politics, media, and society are analyzed by dismantling official narratives, with irony and free debate. No sweetened content here.
Free debate, without corsets and with a good dose of political incorrectness. When I want a talk show that doesn't self-censor and puts everything on the table, it's one of those that never fails.

What I read
Programming sites and newsletters I follow to not lose the pulse: backend and .NET, frontend, software architecture, and engineering culture.
AI & Stochastic 02
The gold standard for moving beyond «vibe coding» into disciplined agent engineering. Skills like /grill-me force the model to interview you and challenge design decisions before touching code, while /to-spec and /wayfinder structure unambiguous requirements and prevent entropy in large codebases.
The place I check when I want to see how someone else solved it before writing my own skill. Over a thousand real Claude Code components -agents, commands, skills, MCPs- that you can read, copy and adapt, with all the code open on GitHub.
Backend & .NET 02
The meeting point to solve questions and stay updated on the .NET ecosystem without language barriers. Between articles, forums, and events, there's always someone who has already struggled with your same problem.
Frontend & JS 02
Best Practices & Architecture 01
Engineering Culture 02
Analysis of technology and the internet with perspective and historical memory. He has been writing about the sector for decades and it shows: context and criteria that you won't find in the typical press release.
Every Sunday, a reflection on the human and business side of technology: management, career, company culture. It's the newsletter that has sparked the most conversations for me on a Monday morning.
community & conferences 01
It's not just another technical conference, it's a meeting where development, business, design, and marketing come together in a unique format. Close, entertaining (late-night show style), and with an incredible community. The networking and practical talks are worth their weight in gold.
