About This Series

Código y Corazón is a serialized fiction that uses the format of a Latin American telenovela to explore the real tensions around AI in software development: the fear of replacement, the seduction of automation promises, and the irreducible value of engineering craft.

Set in Medellín, Colombia — the City of Eternal Spring — the series follows a development team fighting for survival against consultants who’ve never deployed production code but have mastered the art of selling fear.

Each episode introduces concepts familiar to anyone who has faced “digital transformation” initiatives: AI hype cycles, the gap between demos and reality, the human cost of treating developers as interchangeable resources, and the slow rebuild of engineering dignity.

The story is fiction. The fear-mongering is all too real.
