Oh Spicy Tech! The podcast for spicy, restless curious minds working or trying to break into tech.

We are curious, we are nerds, we are spicy.
Ep 4: Software development is a social problem, with Juan Garberi (Summary episode in English)
Software doesn't only break in the code: it breaks in meetings, in who gets to speak and who doesn't. Juan Garberi, a Team Lead based in Berlin, is clear about it: software development is a social problem. We talk about how real networking works, why a team of five achieves five times what one person can alone, and why diversity of voices isn't political correctness, it's understanding your product better.
Full episode in Spanish already out.

Ep 4: El desarrollo de software es un problema social, con Juan Garberi - Spanish
El software no se rompe solo en el código: se rompe en las reuniones, en quién habla y en quién no. Juan Garberi, Team Lead radicado en Berlín, lo tiene claro: el desarrollo de software es un problema social. Hablamos de cómo se hace networking de verdad, de por qué un equipo de cinco logra cinco veces lo que hace uno solo, y de por qué la diversidad de voces no es corrección política, es entender mejor tu producto.
Resumen en inglés la próxima semana.

Ep 3: Build your own accommodations, with Gabriela Aljure (Summary episode in English)
Moving between countries isn't a lifestyle choice for Gabi, it's an accommodation she built for herself. Our first-ever guest is a data and AI consultant who has ADHD, and who can't stay anywhere longer than three months without it costing her. Her last job knew that, agreed to it, then reneged, so she left. We also get into how she cuts through AI hype, her paid workshops on ADHD systems, and why she thinks every accommodation you build for yourself is worth sharing.

Ep 3: Construye tus propias adaptaciones, con Gabriela Aljure
Moverse entre países no es un estilo de vida para Gabi, es una adaptación que se construyó ella misma. Nuestra primera invitada es consultora de datos e IA, con TDAH, que no puede quedarse en un mismo lugar más de tres meses sin que le pase factura. Su último trabajo lo sabía, lo había aceptado, y luego se echó atrás, así que ella se fue. También hablamos de cómo filtra el hype de la IA, de sus charlas sobre sistemas para el TDAH, y de por qué cree que toda adaptación que te construyes vale la pena compartirla.

Ep 2: Gender diversity and inclusion in the tech industry - Europe edition - English
This episode brings a reading of "A Phenomenological Study to Understand Gender Diversity and Inclusion in the Tech Industry" by Faiza Khan and Sanjay Bhattacharya, published in Cardiometry (2022). The paper offers a synthesized literature review on why women remain underrepresented in tech — from structural barriers and the gender pay gap to attrition rates nearly double those of men in STEM fields.
I also share the results of a personal research project: a mapped-out list of organizations and communities supporting women and gender-diverse people in tech across Europe, sorted by focus: education and skills training, networking and peer support, career development and mentorship, advocacy and representation, domain-specific communities, entrepreneurship and funding, and intersectional spaces.
A more personal episode than usual — I open up briefly about recognizing myself in some of the research.

Ep 1: (Resumen en Español) EU deja Big Tech y Arte vs Disrupciones Tecnologicas
Resumen en español del primer episodio de Oh Spicy Tech. Repasamos los dos temas principales: primero, el movimiento que está ocurriendo en Europa para abandonar la dependencia de las grandes tecnológicas estadounidenses, con ejemplos concretos de Francia, el Reino Unido y otros países documentados por WIRED. Segundo, una lectura de la tesis de maestría "Posthuman Production: Technology and Embodiment in the Works of SOPHIE and Holly Herndon" de Eva Sophie Ogle-Vay Hansen (McGill University, 2020), con foco en el proyecto Spawn: la inteligencia artificial de modelado de voz que Herndon entrenó durante casi dos años junto a su ensamble coral. Una conversación sobre IA, música, género y lo que significa crear en colaboración con máquinas que todavía son bebés.

Ep 1: EU is Leaving Big Tech, and Art vs technological disruptions - English
In this episode, we are bringing you a paper reading that serves us to observe the perspectives of artists that embrace technological disruptions and state-of-the-art tools. Its very clear that there’s a lot of rejection to AI in general but particularly to art that has been made with AI. I think is important to research, keep an open mind, think critically, and stay curious, so for this first episode I’m bringing a paper that talks about the work of some of my favourite artists: Holly Herndon and Sophie.
