Episode 114
Tuesday, 7 April, 2026
The tech landscape is shifting under our feet. In this episode of Life on Mars, our CEO Àlex Rodríguez Bacardit sits down with Linus Ekenstam to discuss the 100x era, a world where technology becomes 100x faster and cheaper every 6 to 12 months.Linus breaks down why the ability to write code has moved from a competitive advantage to a basic commodity. He warns that if you are 100% dependent on a platform's reach, you are no longer in control because your boss is an algorithm.The discussion covers the 100x rule and why you must assume tech will accelerate by 100x every year to plan effectively. We explore the death of the coding moat and why execution is now a commodity while taste is the new differentiator. Linus also discusses algorithm slavery and how to humanize your brand to build your own platform for true defensibility.We also touch upon the future of teams and why MarsBased is moving toward multi-faceted engineers over specialized roles. Finally, Linus provides candid feedback on his experience consulting for giants like Adobe and shares the hilarious story of the 1,000 burger party mistake.Support the show🎬 You can watch the video of this episode on the Life on Mars podcast website: https://podcast.marsbased.com/
