51,000 personas han sido despedidas de Facebook, Google, Amazon, y Microsoft durante los últimos 2 trimestres. Asumiendo que el salario promedio en FAANG es de 187k USD, las compañías generaron un ahorro efectivo de aprox 7,760k USD anualmente en cash burn. Impactante.

The greatest luxury in life is being in an environment where your only responsibility is to learn This might sound like college, but college is not a place to learn most useful things The sweet spot is apprenticeship in a dynamic environment—a hypergrowth startup for example

En 2022 continué con el hábito de escuchar al menos 30 minutos diarios de contenido de audio en @beek_io, logrando 75 audios escuchados (25 audiolibros, 13 Beek Te Explica y 37 Beek Originales). Comparto mi top 5 de contenidos y aprendizajes 📚👇🏽

The one thing we know works for education is 1-1 tutoring vs one-to-many classroom 1-1 tutoring with humans for everyone is economically infeasible But the promise of AI and ChatGPT systems will be 1-1 tutoring for everyone in the world Future is bright :)

It continues to blow my mind that Apple IAP has a 2X (two times!!!!!) worse payment retention than Stripe…. And takes a 30% cut. Makes absolutely no sense. I’m happy to pay 30% if they do their job: charging users properly, but they can’t even do that [end of rant 😇🤣]

The first thing you have to unlearn as an Adult is: Stop worrying about the BS everyone else is worried about. College apps & similar games train you to think the crowds are right and we should all care about the same thing Not true. You win by focusing on new & secret metrics

I know that everybody is groaning about the hype in AI right now. But OMG I would SO much rather be hyping generative AI and companies like OpenAI than I want to be selling shitcoins and monkey JPEGs. So much more substance here. But maybe that's just me.

College is closer to a 4-year party than a career-preparation program. Most curriculum is totally unrelated to your future job—most jobs rely on skills that are entirely absent from college (planning, leading, etc). But, college is a ton of fun. Just know why you’re going.

It’s always obvious whether or not people truly care about their work based on the output. This is true for buildings, software, writing, cuisine—everything. It’s as if the maker whispers into your ear—“I tried to make something worthwhile” Always give a shit. Don’t half ass.
