Juan's blog
A human who writes in natural and programming languages
Currently living in Argentina and working as an iOS/watchOS engineer at Runna (acquired by Strava).
This is my little corner of the internet. My tiny garden. I write about whatever inspires or interests me, usually in the form of blog posts.
Life isn't about finding yourself, or finding anything. Life is about creating yourself. And creating things.

The good news is that the most powerful tool for building enough is remarkably simple, and doesn’t require taking risks that could damage any of these things.

Sin nadie con quien hablar, sus ideas daban vueltas en el circuito cerrado de su cabeza, rebotaban unas con otras, se aceleraban, se calmaban, reaparecían, se volvían más sensatas, más ridículas, más patéticas, más dolorosas, más confusas. No tenía perspectiva suficiente para entenderlas ni procesarlas ni encararlas del todo.

La tecnología no es racional; con suerte, es un caballo desbocado que echa espuma por la boca e intenta desbarrancarse cada vez que puede. Nuestro problema es que la cultura está enganchada a ese caballo.
