🎭 Telenovelas
Fictional stories about real software delivery failures and how to fix them.
Software development is fundamentally human. Technical decisions get made in boardrooms where egos clash. Deployments fail because someone took a shortcut under deadline pressure. Teams implode when trust breaks down. The code is just the artifact — the real story is always about people. And it's the people we help as Developer Advocate in our consultancy.
That's why we use telenovelas. Latin American serialized dramas excel at showing how systemic dysfunction manifests through human relationships. The drama is heightened, but the patterns are real — and we explain what to pay attention to and how to improve your technical skills to not repeat the mistakes of the characters.

Código del Destino
