I love this! I always believed that the best developer is the one that has a taste for business and this thing is in the line of it :D

Mister_Y | 9 years ago | on: In 2017, learn every language

Loved this! To be honest I think the more you learn, the better for you but I would even disagree of learning everything since then you can't specialize as much as other people. I'd say, it depends on what you look for. I've seen successful people who are savvy in lots of fields but I've also came up to meet people who are really good at just a couple of things :) And I say this because I believe it's not only about the quantity of languages that you know, but also how it's gonna be implemented, a developer that knows about business is in my opinion really valuable and difficult to find.

Mister_Y | 9 years ago | on: Working remotely, coworking spaces, and mental health

feeling isolated is not a good thing most of the people, that's why libraries, coworking spaces and meetups exist. After all, the human being is a social animal. But what we can do to prevent this is planning where to work from, where to go, analyzing if working remotely is good or not for us. I found this piece of content really helpful as I'm tired to read how nice is to be a digital nomad, well... it is if you're an outgoing person, or if you're the type of guy who likes to feel pushed to always go the extra mile. But we have to prevent people from just going to the middle of nowhere expecting amazing things will happen as you have to be the one who moves first. Loved this!

Mister_Y | 9 years ago | on: Lessons from 3,000 technical interviews

One of the reasons I got hired by Airbnb is that I took MOOCs, but I also believe that most of my knowledge comes from reading books and that's a thing I didn't put on my CV. So, even if showing interest in learning opens for you a huge amount of opportunities, I think you actually have to go deeper than just enrolling on a couple of MOOCs.

Mister_Y | 9 years ago | on: Once mocked, Facebook’s $1B acquisition of Instagram was a good move

I live in Spain and most people I talk to doesn't know about Instagram's acquisition by FB, but I also believe they're mistaken with what they're doing with WhatsApp, basically I got an ad about a Gin brand and I had never mention or looked for this online, I just talked to my friends about it... and boom!! hehe
