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.

En la lectura está todo el secreto; y no tardé demasiado tiempo en comprender que los dueños de las plumas más sensibles y virtuosas son los lectores que escriben y no los escritores que leen.

Monetize by asking users for money. Don't sell their data. Don't put ads everywhere. Don't dilute your product. Be honest that you need money to build the product they love and they'll be fine paying for it.

Cuanto más conocía a Nagasawa, más extraño me parecía. A lo largo de mi vida, me había cruzado, había encontrado o conocido a muchas personas extrañas, pero jamás a nadie que lo fuera tanto. Leía muchísimo más que yo, pero tenía por principio no adentrarse en una obra hasta que hubieran transcurrido treinta años de la muerte del autor.
