Aquesta setmana, a Foc a Terra, us portem un episodi on parlem d'Instinct i els assistents personals tipus Grok Bot i Muse, entre molts d'altres. Explico com em vaig comprar la samarreta d'Obeses amb aquest assistent personal, @arnautordera.bsky.social 🤘 focaterra.cat/episodi/251/
Instint bàsic — Foc a Terra
El 99,9% de la gent no sabrà mai què és un MCP, ni un CLI, ni un servidor, i fins ara això els deixava fora de la festa agèntica. Aquesta setmana provem Instinct, que viu dins el WhatsApp o Apple Mess...

Seeing all these "community houses" in big cities makes me wonder how far are they from reality. Most builders won't show up. Only people with spare time to learn from others in a very slow setup: events.
This year, we're seeing more prospective clients coming up with "i want to build something with AI" but don't know exactly what, when and how.
Every time I pack for a trip I realise how much of a prepper I am
Avui us portem al grandíssim David Baratech per a debatre sobre el moment de la IA: regulacions, models, canvis de mercat, etc. També parlem de Ulabox i YABA, les seves dues darreres aventures emprenedores i dels malvats actuals que comanden la revolució de la IA: www.youtube.com/watch?v=s3Og...

Well, I have succumbed to the temptation and have tried Instinct. I'm pretty Instinct-pilled, to be honest. Here's my experience so far: www.alexrodba.com/basic-instin...
Basic Instinct
I've been throwing my personal backlog at an AI agent that lives in WhatsApp: deleting 300 abandoned accounts, buying things, filling forms. The interesting metric is not whether it's faster than me. ...

Esta semana, en el podcast de MarsBased, os traemos a Cristian Planas para ver si conseguimos enterrar de una vez por todas lo de que Rails no escala. No lo conseguiremos, pero al menos lo pasamos en grande con la charla. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZM5-...

My co-founder Jordi Vendrell has written an article on what we all think we know but fail to act on it: AI doesn't have your judgment, but it can back it up with lots of data.
Avui, a Foc a Terra, us portem el @paxpuig.bsky.social. Classe magistral de ciberseguritat per a tots els públics. Com diria en @ganyet.bsky.social , entra a examen: www.youtube.com/watch?v=AStB...

One of the things that'll make me fully embrace agentic & autonomous AI is the amount and duration of insufferably long animations and transitions in today's software. It's killing me every time.

www.youtube.com/live/AStB4If... Aquesta setmana els amics de “Foc A Terra” (podcast de tecnologia i negocis en català) em van convidar a parlar de ciberseguretat i IA. Vaig intentar no parlar massa tècnic però tampoc massa poc. Complicat. focaterra.cat Gràcies, @alexrodba.com i Marc!

Eleven years ago, we created a Slack community for entrepreneurs and tech people in Barcelona. Time to close a chapter. 🧵
Avui, a Foc a Terra, i a petició de l'audiència, repassem els últims canvis en les nostres pràctiques quotidianes amb IA. Nous casos d'ús, i la sospita que el límit ja no són els models sinó nosaltres, que no tenim prou imaginació per donar-los feina. www.youtube.com/watch?v=btRI...

👋 He fet una eina per netejar el teu compte de Bluesky: publicacions, likes i reposts. ✅ Però NO és un botó de destrucció total. 👀 Abans d'esborrar res et mostra tot el que tens, un per un, i tu decideixes. 🎬 Demo de com esborrar "reposts"👇 🤝 Els altres scripts per posts i likes funcionen igual.

The golden era of AI-pilled founder entitlement
Everyone on your feed is running a "team" of AI agents and calling it a superpower. Nobody's talking about what happens when a team that never says no starts making you feel untouchable.

Today, I'm sharing yet another fantastic blog post written by Anna Vidal for the MarsBased blog. Turns out, we've become very knowledgeable on AI-augmented development, so we are sharing everything we're learning. It's hard to contain the excitement. marsbased.com/blog/2026/08...

While I've been away on holidays, our very own David has been smashing it, on the MarsBased podcast! Our channel has added 10k subscribers in a few months only.
Independence is a strategy, not a constraint. No investors means we answer to our clients and our team, and we get to play the long game on our own terms. been 12 years like this and feels like we can do another 12 💪
We're less than 3 years away from MarsBased turning 15 years old. 🤯
MarsBased has never had one gigantic fuck-up that almost killed the company. No near-shutdowns, no layoffs, no steps back. Why? no investors, no external shareholders. And years of profitability that gave us cash reserves and optionality.
Aquest estiu no hem parat a Foc a Terra. O sí, i per això els vam deixar gravats, per a poder gaudir d'unes merescudes vacances mentre els episodis que vam deixar preparats quedaven obsolets en matèria de minuts.
Programar amb IA la rentadora — Foc a Terra

I've been lately thinking through whether building your own software with real security investment can actually be safer than relying on big incumbents, landing on the idea that it's less about budget size and more about consistency and discipline day to day.
