T3 EP6 - Del fuego a la Luna, ¿a dónde nos llevará la IA? | La Hora del Tech El verdadero reto de llevar IA a producción hoy no es elegir el modelo más grande del mercado, sino saber cuándo usarlo y cuándo delegar la tarea a componentes más eficientes. Mover todo tu flujo de trabajo hacia la nube para tareas que requieren baja latencia ya no es una arquitectura óptima. El próximo 27 de mayo nos sentamos con Felipe Aguirre Martinez, Senior Data Scientist y Claude Code Community Ambassador, para hablar del siguiente paso en la evolución de las arquitecturas de datos: el auge de los modelos pequeños y especializados. Analizaremos cómo conviven estos dos mundos. No se trata de reemplazar, sino de optimizar: entender los escenarios donde un modelo compacto, entrenado para una tarea específica, supera en coste y velocidad a sistemas generalistas, y cómo se diseñan los sistemas híbridos actuales.

¡Episodio en vivo desde la Universidad EIA! La seguridad reactiva ya no es suficiente. Mientras los equipos siguen acelerando el uso de IA, cloud y automatización, los riesgos también están evolucionando: ataques más sofisticados, exposición de datos sensibles y sistemas vulnerables desde el diseño. En el episodio 5 de La Hora del Tech, David Cabra, SDM, IAM & Orchestration - Netdata Innovation Center, y Juan Sierra, Ingeniero de Seguridad Ofensiva, nos cuentan cómo la ciberseguridad preventiva y la computación confidencial están cambiando la forma en que las empresas protegen información sin frenar la innovación. Hablamos de riesgos reales, ataques impulsados por IA, protección de datos y prácticas que los equipos técnicos deberían estar implementando.

Most companies find out they have a #security problem when it's already too late to think clearly. Not because they weren't paying attention. Because they were building fast — shipping features, scaling infrastructure, adding integrations — and security was always the next thing on the list. We've watched that pattern play out too many times. And it's getting harder to recover from now that the other side has #AI. Attackers today don't need a sophisticated team. They need a subscription and a target. #Phishing campaigns that used to take days to craft now take minutes. Malware variants that required real expertise are being generated automatically. The barrier to entry dropped. The volume didn't. Tomorrow we're having the conversation most teams postpone until it's urgent. David Cabra and Juan Esteban Sierra — one building identity and orchestration infrastructure at scale, the other spending his days finding what your team missed — are joining us live at Teatro Universidad EIA - Escuela de Ingeniería de Antioquia in Medellín to talk about what actually changes when you stop reacting and start building security into the foundation. If you work in #tech and you're in Medellín this is worth your morning. Reserve your seat here: https://lnkd.in/eWiWtvDN

T3 EP4 - El fenómeno de contractors tech | La Hora del Tech Ya no es un sueño ganar en moneda extranjera; el verdadero reto es no vivir en un limbo legal. Lo que antes parecía el éxito definitivo para cualquier profesional tech en Latinoamérica, hoy viene acompañado de letras chiquitas: bloqueos bancarios, incertidumbre tributaria y la sensación de ser un fantasma financiero en tu propio país. En este episodio de La Hora del Tech, junto a Leidy León, Directora Administrativa y Financiera, y Nicole Higuita, Especialista de Desarrollo Humano y Experiencia del Empleado de Source Meridian, conversamos sobre cómo la falta de una estructura legal local te obliga a convertirte en tu propio abogado y contador. Descubre cómo transformar ese ingreso internacional en estabilidad real sin sacrificar tu paz mental.

Whether it’s on Reddit, X, or Instagram, we’ve been seeing the same conversations over and over again from #engineers and #developers: “I’m making more money than ever… but I feel exhausted all the time.” “I hate constantly worrying about taxes and banking issues.” “I work remotely, but sometimes I feel invisible to the company.” And no, the problem isn’t remote work itself. The issue is that the #contractor model often forces people to handle EVERYTHING on their own while still trying to stay productive and grow their careers. Tomorrow at 7:00 p.m., on La Hora del Tech, we’re talking about the side of contracting that almost nobody explains properly: stability, burnout, taxes, isolation, and how to actually evaluate a contract before signing it.

T3 EP3 - Ansiedad generada por el Token | La Hora del Tech ¿Alguna vez te has sentido ansioso o frustrado trabajando en proyectos que sabes que están “rotos” o no cumplen tus estándares de calidad? En este episodio exploramos la deuda emocional en el desarrollo de software: cómo decisiones apresuradas, presión por lanzamientos y falta de mantenimiento generan carga mental acumulada en los desarrolladores. Hablamos de cómo esto impacta la autoestima, el estrés y la motivación de los equipos, considerando factores como tamaño del equipo, tipo de desarrollo, metodologías ágiles, uso de Jira y trabajar en múltiples proyectos al mismo tiempo. También compartimos historias reales de crisis y cómo los profesionales enfrentan la tensión entre calidad técnica y salud mental.

You spend your days optimizing systems… and, at some point, you start treating your life the same way. Tonight on La Hora del Tech, we’re opening a conversation that might feel a bit uncomfortable—but it’s one many people in tech will recognize. We’ll be joined by Ricardo José Duarte Sandoval, a clinical psychologist who has worked closely with professionals in the industry. This is what token #anxiety can look like: you can’t fully switch off, rest feels unproductive, everything gets measured in output, and you find yourself running on autopilot. Even outside of work, you’re still in sprint mode. There’s no quick fix for it, but there is value in understanding what’s going on—and starting to take back control. Join us today at 7:00 p.m. (Colombia Time). Register and be part of a conversation worth having 👉 https://lnkd.in/eM8BNaBu #TechCommunity #WorkLifeBalance

Stepping away from a high-velocity career for an intentional pause is a move few senior leaders actually make. On April 29th at 7:00 PM COT, Anibal Rojas, former VP of Engineering at Platzi, joins us on #LaHoradelTech to discuss the reality of his #sabbatical year. We will explore the mechanics of his transition and how his perspective on #professionalgrowth evolved once he prioritized health, sustainable habits, and a deeper approach to learning. The conversation dives into his recent work deconstructing #Generative AI to understand the fundamental shifts in how software is built today. We examine technical judgment, alongside the realities of navigating burnout and making high-stakes career decisions with clarity. This session is designed for senior professionals looking to scale their impact without compromising their well-being or long-term purpose. #TechStrategy

There’s a hidden technical debt in our industry: your health. You patch it up with coffee until you finally crash. Anibal Rojas, former VP of Engineering at Platzi, hit that exact wall. He did the unthinkable and took an entire year off to reset his health and dive deep into #AI. Tonight on #LaHoradelTech, Aníbal shares how to catch your own burnout before it's too late, alongside the fundamental AI principles he developed during his sabbatical. He’ll explain why hallucination is actually the core feature of #LLMs, how to steer positive and negative hallucinations in AI coding assistants, and the real math behind AI-assisted programming. If you're running on fumes and caffeine, this episode is for you. Tonight at 7:00 p.m. (Colombia time) Register here https://lnkd.in/eXhWnFxD

Tomorrow at 7 p.m. (Colombia Time), we’re back with Season 3 of La Hora del Tech! To kick things off, we’re diving into what it’s actually like to start an #AI business right now. It’s a wild, fast-moving space, so we’ll be talking about how to stay grounded and focus on the strategies that actually move the needle. A few things we’ll look into: -Why it’s vital for AI agents to really get your codebase to keep things high-quality. -Balancing the excitement of new tech with the need to actually deliver value to your users. -Which areas of development are truly ready for an AI boost. Andrés Restrepo, CEO of Enric, will be joining us to share what he’s learned along the way. If you’ve been thinking about the strategy behind AI or just have questions, come hang out and let’s chat about it live. #startups #techgrowth
