Summary

The gap between what we know to be true and what we've been told.


One voice. No hard lanes. A Venezuelan-born, Sweden-based software engineer talks about whatever won't leave him alone. Code, culture, football, fiction, the universe, and the occasional crime against milk. Think about ten minutes with your grandfather, if he'd read everything.

  • The One with the Kind Bio

    The One with the Kind Bio
    Apr 19 2026
    A bio full of kindness. A post full of fury. David starts with a death threat hiding behind a warm Twitter profile and pulls the thread all the way to Karl Popper, the Salem witch trials, and a hobbit who never needed a bio to be decent. This episode is about the gap between who we say we are and what we actually do when we think we're the hero — and the uncomfortable question of when you've been both the bio and the post. Also, Martinelli gives a kid his shirt and makes the rest of us look bad.

    The One with the Office Tea
    Apr 12 2026
    Modern tech offices have a playbook: four kinds of plant milk, a ping pong table nobody uses, Fun Fridays, and a mug that says "You belong here." But when you design for everyone in the abstract, you end up designing for no one in particular. This episode is about the gap between good intentions and actual inclusion, and why there are never any teacups.
