Currently building Products at NoFrixion.
I like writing essays about the gap between how organizations say they work and how they actually work. That gap separates the ones with a real chance to succeed from the ones destined to navigate with no direction.
I've spent 20 years building software products — first as the person writing the code, then testing it, then managing the people who build it, and now leading the product strategy at a fintech. I've been on every side of the table, and that perspective shapes everything I do.
Between 2012 and 2014, I started putting those inner thoughts on paper, and the result was a series of essays I called Menos Chuco — which could be translated to Less BS. I'm revisiting those writings now — translating them from Spanish, adding context, and discovering that many of the patterns I observed from inside the system were later formalized by Nassim Taleb in Skin in the Game and Antifragile.
Nineteen essays. Five acts. One machine.
Between 2012 and 2014 I kept a Spanish blog called Menos Chuco— “Less BS” in Rioplatense. Nineteen short essays on how organizations actually work versus how they pretend to, written from inside the machine.
A decade later I'm translating them to English and discovering the patterns I observed were later formalized by Nassim Taleb in Skin in the Game and Antifragile. Each essay is re-published with annotations connecting the two.
