Aldrin Leal regresa tras un "experimento antropológico" entre Brasil y Medellín para reflexionar sobre por qué, a veces, nos sentimos tan perdidos como Shinji Ikari. Tras tres meses de pausa y un par de especializaciones en el camino, Aldrin retoma el proyecto para cerrar ciclos y fusionar identidades, recordándonos que "si quieres hacer reír a Dios, cuéntale tus planes". En este episodio, viajamos a la nostalgia de los años 2000 para analizar el legendario "Joel Test". Aldrin nos narra la evolución desde los clones de Apple IIe en un Brasil hiperinflacionario y el horror de herramientas como SourceSafe, hasta la actual "renacencia" tecnológica impulsada por las LLMs. Entre anécdotas sobre el libro Showstopper y la gestión de bugs en tiempos de Bugzilla, exploramos cómo lo que antes era un lujo (como los builds de un solo paso), hoy es el estándar mínimo por el que pagamos una suscripción de pocos dólares. Pero el mundo ya no es el mismo. Por eso, Aldrin propone una actualización necesaria: el "Joel Test 2026". Con ayuda de modelos como Perplexity y Claude, define nuevos criterios para la era moderna: ¿pueden tus nuevos ingenieros ejecutar el código local en un día solo leyendo la documentación? ¿Tienes una estrategia real de "Deep Work" y manejo de deuda técnica? Si quieres medir la madurez de tu equipo sin caer en la burocracia del CMM, prepárate para esta auditoría de realidad. ¡Damos play!
