There’s something we’re still not saying enough in tech:
The system works exactly as it was designed.
And if we want to change what we’re seeing, participating in the system isn’t enough.
We have to rewrite it.
Medellín: a fork in the system
IWD Medellín 2026 wasn’t just an event. It was a fork.
A moment where we chose not to follow the default flow.
Communities that usually operate in parallel decided to synchronize:
To build something together:
Resilient. Coordinated. Purpose-driven.
What we talked about
⚡ Technology as a tool for emancipation
Using tech not just to optimize processes, but to redistribute power.
⚡ Web + AI in production
The question is no longer “how do I build?”
It’s: how do I capture value in a system that’s already running?
The web has changed. If you don’t understand that, you’re building for a past that no longer exists.
⚡ AI in DevTools
- Friction in development is shifting.
- Debugging is no longer just reading logs.
It’s interacting with systems that understand context. That changes how we learn, iterate, and think about code.
⚡ Multi-agent systems (ADK)
- We’re moving from applications to ecosystems of decisions.
- Multiple agents that collaborate, negotiate, and execute.
This isn’t just technical. It’s a paradigm shift.
⚡ AI in HealthTech
This is where it gets real.
When AI enters healthcare, errors stop being bugs. They become consequences.
Break the Pattern (for real)
In this amazing celebration:
- People showed up.
- Speakers shared.
- Communities collaborated.
- Ideas emerged.
Break the Pattern isn’t an event. It’s what we do next.
