He built the page by voice
Carlos forgets his laptop, gets dared, and talks a working Tencargo webpage into existence from his phone in half an hour, 'quite el color azul por un gris', which turns last week's shut-down hallway argument into a demonstration: the best UI keeps disappearing.
// trace: where this idea came from
- ↳ video diary @ 12:31 (programando por voz)
- ↳ video diary @ 15:02 (la tesis de la velocidad)
- ↳ Entry 125-2: Only Steve Jobs may innovate (el ingeniero que dijo que solo Steve Jobs)
The setup is an accident: Carlos arrives without his laptop because the plan was the street ▸ 11:54, gets teased into trying anyway ▸ 12:09, and instead of typing, opens the microphone and talks: “hágame una página web… quite el color azul por un gris” ▸ 12:31. Half an hour of conversation later, Tencargo has a live page, sections, tariff calculator, WhatsApp contact, terms ▸ 13:39. The title’s fear is said on camera and it’s Carlos’s own: “es frustrante saber que uno básicamente no necesita más un computador” ▸ 14:15.
Which makes it the empirical rebuttal to last week’s hallway wall. The thesis he couldn’t get the Platzi engineer to engage with holds one variable: “todo es un tema de velocidad en la que se transmite la información” ▸ 15:02. Every button location memorized, every command learned, is latency between intent and result; voice deletes a layer of it, and “hay unos que no lo quieren ver” ▸ 20:26.
cada botón memorizado es latencia entre la intención y el resultado →
The evidence stack he assembles for where this goes: the streamer who plays video games through scalp electrodes, no implant ▸ 16:01, non-intrusive being the point, “yo no quiero que me metan un chip en la cabeza, gracias” ▸ 16:30; and Meta’s neural wristband, the quiet star of the Ray-Ban Display launch, reading nerve impulses at the wrist so you can write on any surface, no cameras watching your hands ▸ 17:34. Extrapolate to the head and the interface disappears entirely, a future he can’t resist staging as comedy: two people in AR glasses having a furious argument in total silence, insults rendering as floating text ▸ 19:45. Distopic, funny, and, on today’s evidence, on schedule…
