My Friday rant of last week was about social media and how its broken state disrupts founder-led marketing strategies like many and that of many others.

🏄🏻‍♂️ To ride the wave or not.

🧪 Changes to the algorithms.

⚙️ Focus on one app or spread among many.

✋🏻 The surge of hoaxes, deepfakes and fascism.

🍳 My personal recipe for the next years.

This, and much more, in your weekly dose of Founder to Founder:

Everything sucks. Let's tweet it.

whereas bluesky used to be empty and now it's kind of sort of thriving of sorts, mastodon is still a ghost town

Aquesta setmana, a Foc a Terra, ens posem el barret d'assessors financers i us recomanem donar un cop d'ull al moviment FIRE i tanmateix us recordem que si voleu arribar lluny, no seguiu els nostres consells.

In this episode, Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit sits down with John O’Nolan, founder of Ghost, to explore the journey of building a values-driven, open-source platform. From the challenges of bootstrapping to the unique structure of Ghost as a foundation, they discuss how focusing on purpose over profit shapes products, teams, and user loyalty.

No n'estic gaire segur de com he de plantejar la presentació d'aquest últim episodi de Foc a Terra.

Parlem de l'slow thinking, de Derek Sivers i de la perversió de la immediatesa, entre d'altres coses. I de la Belén Esteban, també.

Here's the latest issue of my newsletter Founder to Founder where I discuss partnerships and why they're a waste of time most of the time. Do your own thing instead.

The problem with partnerships

Partnerships are great... for someone else. i guess. Or so I've heard.

I want to improve the podcast setup I have, specially the lightning.

I want to build a setup around the iPhone's continuity camera as I find my ElGato cam not good on poor lightning, so maybe let's build on that? Light ring or not? background lights? how to compensate the light coming in from the window? or should I always record with artificial light? Every bit of help will be appreciated 🙏🏻

Aquesta setmana, a Foc a Terra, us portem el resum de l'esmorzar de forquilla de dijous passat amb un episodi basadíssim on parlem del gran èxode de Xitter cap a BlueSky, com saber com de ple va el següent metro, com les xarxes socials són un reflexe (del femer) de la societat (de merda), una mica de deep web i molt més.
