The Dopamine Problem Every New Manager Face

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

10th Jul 2026
I recently wrote an internal Management 101 guide for new RevenueCat managers. It is not meant to be a universal management guide. Most universal management advice is either too vague to be useful or too generic to survive contact with a real company. My goal was simpler: explain...

100 Lessons From Building a 100-Person Org

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

3rd Jun 2026
RevenueCat now has more than 150 team members. Around 100 of them are in my org. This is still a little crazy to me. My own org is now bigger than any company I had worked at before starting RevenueCat. As a technical founder, I always preferred computers over people. Computers...

The Long Run

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

7th Dec 2025
They say only one out of 1000–2000 startups becomes a unicorn, and that only 1% of humans will ever finish a marathon. If you had asked my mother, though, she would have told you it was a thousand times more likely I’d build a billion-dollar tech company than finish a marathon....

My role as a founder CTO: Year Seven

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

6th Jan 2025
2024 has come and gone, and it’s time for my annual post. What a year for startups—like squeezing five regular years into one. Do you remember the Apple Vision Pro, the DMA regulation, founder mode, or the o1 launch? All of that happened in just the last twelve months. It’s also...

Full Circle

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

28th Aug 2024
I’m back in Spain for my brother’s wedding. I rarely visit during the summer. The heat in my hometown is brutal, around 40 degrees Celsius (over 100 Fahrenheit for my imperial friends). Most people escape to the coast, just like my family did when I was a kid. I haven’t been here...

From J1 visa to Blue Passport: A startup founder's immigration journey

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

1st Apr 2024
I am drafting this post at 35,000 feet flying back from Japan. I’ve entered the US about 30 times, but this will be the first time I’ll be using my shiny blue passport. No anxiety about aggressive questions, secondary inspection, or the possibility of deportation. A couple of...

Working with Miguel: A Practical Guide

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

2nd Feb 2024
Since reading ‘High Growth Handbook’ by Elad Gil, the value of writing a ‘Working with’ document became crystal clear to me. I am sharing mine externally to inspire other founders and leaders to reflect and write down their own working styles. These documents are incredibly...

My role as a founder CTO: Year Six

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

8th Jan 2024
Another year as a founder CTO, and let me tell you, it’s been one for the books. I can’t remember a time in my life that was more demanding and emotionally draining. Those early years were filled with hard work, but we were also full of energy, ambition to build, and the sense...

My role as a founder CTO: Year Five

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

6th Feb 2023
It’s hard to believe that five years have already gone by since RevenueCat’s inception. In a matter of weeks, RevenueCat will become the company where I have worked the longest in my career. As Jason Lemkin says, it’s important to continuously reinvent the company and oneself...

My role as a founder CTO: Year Four

from Miguel Carranza [alt+shift+b] in programming

29th Dec 2021
It has been one year since I wrote the blog post where I shared the learnings from the first three years of my journey as a first-time technical founder. 2021 was not an exception, and my role as RevenueCat’s CTO kept evolving quite a lot. As expected, my job did not get any...

When Google killed Google Reader, the bloggosphere took a severe hit and the content quality went down because there weren't enough readers to justify the effort it takes to maintain a high quality blog.

What's left is a decaying wasteland of blogs, most abandoned, a lot are now SEO spam, and 99% are not worth reading. BoredReading is a way to read the remaining great blogs that survived the ice age.

To add your favorite blog, please suggest it here! I get emails every day which helps me maintain a high quality selection of blogs!
