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>

<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"

>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>
|
||||
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.

|
||||
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 <whatever ideology/country/demographic they don't
|
||||
like>, 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.

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.
