I'm based in Barcelona, although I'm happy working for anyone
located anywhere (as long as we can find a time to meet).
</li>
<li>
My career has focused in Data teams and positions, playing roles
such as Data Lead, Data Engineer or Data Science Researcher. I've
also tinkered quite a bit with many areas and technologies outside
of data, but not in professional, production-grade settings.
</li>
<li>
Having said that, I have a lot of weird interests that might mix
somehow, including:
<ul>
<li>
Austrian economics and its societal and political implications
</li>
<li>Bitcoin</li>
<li>P2P and privacy friendly applications</li>
<li>
Self-hosting and lowering the cost of people using advanced IT
on a personal level
</li>
<li>Riding motorcycles</li>
<li>BBQ-ing</li>
<li>Being annoyingly contrarian</li>
<li>3D printing maps</li>

<h2>Is your drug dealer a homophobic socialist?</h2>
<p>
Lately, I've noticed a branch of
<a
href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cancel_culture"
target="_blank"
rel="noopener noreferrer"
>cancel culture</a
>
I've come to find quite disturbing. I think it has mainly extended in
the US, though I think it's starting to happen in Europe too. It's
this tendency for people at companies to politically and morally judge
business counterparties and come to the conclusion that business
shouldn't be done with them because of it.
</p>
<p>
I experienced this first hand during some afterwork beers, and for
some reason the scene got burned into my retina. A colleague of mine,
beer in hand, said something like, “We're working with this customer,
and they're unbearable because they complain a lot and challenge us
all the time when we run the monthly reconciliation. Plus, they're
from Israel.” I was mindblown at how casually that was dropped, with
not even a footnote-like explanation deemed necessary. I played my 5
year old child attitude card and asked, "What's the problem with them
being in Israel?" She said, "Well, you know, they're in Israel and the
whole thing is happening. It's terrible. We shouldn't deal with them."
</p>
<p>
I couldn't hold it in: I asked her if her hairdresser was from Israel.
She look at me completely puzzled: “I don't know. Why does that
matter?” I told her, “I don't know. Apparently, you're upset about
dealing people from Israel, so I'm assuming you need to check if
everyone you do business with is from there to not do it if that's the
case.” Silent stood and the air got thick. Someone jumped in with a
nervous joke to break up the tension that my child like questions had
somehow brought to the room, and the conversation moved on.
</p>
<p>
Ever since that day, I've come across this kind of
social-justice-business-censor thinking pop up a lot. Since that fun
first encounter, whenever someone points out at how business should
not be done with &lt;whatever ideology/country/demographic they don't
like&gt;, I started jokingly triggering them by asking, “Actually, are
you making sure your drug dealer a homophobic socialist?” They
generally laugh, not grasping how their stances on politically
deciding to do or not do business with someone sound as ridicolous to
me.
</p>

<p>
Here's what disturbs me: trade is a very civilized act. When we
trade—whether it's goods, services, or anything else—we're putting
aside our differences and doing something mutually beneficial. We both
walk away better off. We hurt no one. We make things a tiny bit better
overall. Deciding not to trade with someone because of some political
detail which is completely irrelevant to the trade itself is
backwards. Even if I didn't like communists, I wouldn't care if a
communist is selling me bananas. It just doesn't matter.
</p>
<p>
Seeing people blow up trade over politics makes me sad. I think it's
ignorant and hateful. And I don't think they realize where that kind
of thinking can lead.
</p>
<p>
In the end, I just hope people can leave politics out of business.
Let's do business and all be better off thanks to it.
