@jordi_vendrell shares the exact workflows we’re using and how the PM role is evolving at the company. No hype, just our current setup. Full story on our blog: marsbased.com/blog/2026/04/2…

At MarsBased, a PM’s value goes beyond board maintenance. We’ve started offloading the "plumbing", specs, status reports, and Linear updates, to Claude via MCP. This allows our team to focus on strategy and stakeholder communication.

Esa visión conecta con el Spec Driven Development: un paradigma donde la especificación manda y el código es volátil. Células de 2 personas con la eficiencia de 6 para escalar una operativa de 4M de nóminas. Tenéis el episodio completo aquí: youtu.be/-HbaVnZUdxY

Dicen que dos cabezas piensan mejor que una, pero en este episodio comprobamos que dos Alex son mejor que uno. @lexrodba charla con Alex Gonzalez sobre su "Road to CTO": de las ventas a liderar a 220 ingenieros como la bisagra entre negocio y tecnología (1/2).

La semana pasada tuvimos a @fderbaix, de @IndexaCapital, en el podcast de MarsBased, para hablar de bootstrapping, pensar a largo plazo, diseño de producto en el sector finanzas, incentivos y mucho más.

Our CTO @xavier_redo just shared the full story on our blog, detailing how we navigated this high-stakes upgrade without a single major incident: marsbased.com/blog/2026/04/1…

Updating a 150,000-line Rails monolith with almost no test coverage is the kind of project that keeps developers awake at night. Most people would brace for a disastrous "big-bang" deployment, but we decided to take a much more calculated approach.

@MarsBased @lexrodba ¡Muchas gracias por la invitación, Àlex y MarsBased!

Next up, SEO tools. They're one of the biggest rippoffs in the entire history of the internet. Overpriced, overbloated and running on mostly made-up data. I can't believe people who pay hundreds of dollars per month for tools like SEMrush and the like.

I've been thinking about a concept I want to call "fuck you code" because right now, more or less everyone is familiarised with the term "fuck you money" and because why not.

Un ejemplo de transparencia radical, el por qué no cambian el diseño de su web cada mes y mucho más os espera en este episodio que es puro oro. Os dejamos la charla completa aquí: youtu.be/dLMw6w3IW90

En inversión, lo más caro no siempre es lo mejor. De hecho, @fderbaix sostiene que cada euro de más en comisiones es, simplemente, rentabilidad que estás perdiendo. Ya podéis ver su charla con @lexrodba sobre los 4.600M€ de Indexa Capital y el modelo de Bwater. (1/2)

Content creation: Slaves to the algorithm

Did you catch yesterday’s video with @LinusEkenstam ? We’re diving into the "100x era" and why code isn't a competitive moat anymore. Essential viewing for anyone in tech: youtu.be/_-1vdLGJY-k

When execution is a commodity, taste and judgment are your only defense. Linus warns about platform dependency, if an algorithm determines your reach, it is your boss. Sad but true. Watch the full talk here: youtu.be/N4NTy7nTXrk

The ground is shifting in software. In this episode of the MarsBased Podcast, @lexrodba and @LinusEkenstam discuss the 100x era where technology accelerates every few months. One big core takeaway: Code is no longer a competitive advantage.
