About this listen

In November, Williams Aguilera, Nova's CTO, was using Cursor 8 hours a day. When he came back from paternity leave in January, he hasn't opened it once.In this episode of Signal we talk about what's really happening inside tech teams in 2026. How the developer role has shifted from writing code to directing agents. Why the bottleneck is no longer producing code but reviewing it. And what it means to be a CTO when your work no longer fits inside a text editor but inside a conversation.Andrea and Ramón also cover the week's news: Cursor hits $2B ARR while its early adopters cancel their subscriptions, Oracle lays off 30,000 people to fund AI infrastructure, and why SaaS software valuations have dropped to a quarter of what they were in 2022.No scripts.
