valboa··on Colophon Protocol – How to Deal with Agents Emails
Hello! I am drafting here a new protocol for email communication that is authored by agents. In this case, I am proposing that email providers engage in the certification and deployment of keys that help verify the provenance of an email that was written by agents on behalf of an actor.

I am looking for comments, concerns and contributions. Feel free to reach out to me directly. Jay Vivas

valboa··on Stop building automations. Start running your business
I built a tool to inspire business owners with ideas for Agentic automation for business operations.

Give it a try!

valboa··on Imaginary problems are the root of bad software
Engineers are terrible prophets.

We should focus on the problems of "now". The future will catch up.

valboa··on I landed 18 FAANG+ software engineer offers
My experience exactly. It is broken. From my experience, is a result of the high cost of employees, an increasing mount of HR practices and processes and a sense of entitlement from both the company and the candidate. Something should be done to make technical and system design questions a thing of the past. Culture fit is the only one unavoidable.
valboa··on ‘Culture wars’ are fought by tiny minority – UK study
This is a cult like approach. The main proposition "Everyone is a racist, whether you know it or not", is an overstatement. There is no way you can tell "everyone" is a "racist", is just an aphorism with multiple interpretations. This has become the tool of identity politics and group thinking, throw and aphorism and let people fight over it. Unfortunate.

Identity politics and group thinking are the cancer of society. Everyone can be oppressed, everyone can be an opresor. Just give them a reason.
valboa··on Disney and Integrators versus Aggregators
Why we don't have a way to federalize content generation and allow content to be distributed organically. Similar to what is happening with Podcasts. Is there any video podcast kind of format that you can subscribe to their RSS and get the video to be played in any platform that supports it?
valboa··on Show HN: I built a simple web app for streaming videos
This! I think we are needing something similar to podcasts for video, that will remove the incumbent players (youtube) from being the sole owners of the video content and instead they are one of many distributors.
valboa··on What vertical farming and ag startups don't understand about agriculture
If you want to learn about agriculture, find a farm you can support close to you, and enroll in a summer program. You will learn more if you get your hands dirty.
valboa··on What vertical farming and ag startups don't understand about agriculture
Smart Farming is the way! You need to concentrate in flavor and quality. Yield is a race to the bottom.
valboa··on What vertical farming and ag startups don't understand about agriculture
My response was too long, so I put it in my blog. https://www.yorch.co/what-i-think-about-food-production-and-...

I think the author has great points, but is not the full picture.
