The name

cr0hn

cr0hn and Daniel Alfocea are the same person.

That name is not going away. Everything now hangs off Daniel Alfocea.

For more than twenty years I signed everything as cr0hn: talks at RootedCON and Navaja Negra, tools on GitHub, papers, the blog, the newsletter. It is still my GitHub username and plenty of people will keep calling me that.

What I did was put the identity in order. Everything now hangs off my name: Daniel Alfocea.

Why

Because the work changed. I used to build and break systems. Most of what I do now is help decide what to do with them: what to touch, what to leave alone, which risks are worth taking and which are not.

cr0hn was the right name for the first thing. For the second, my own name works better.

What stays the same

  • The GitHub account is still cr0hn. No repository moves.
  • The talks, projects and papers are all here, on the same paths.
  • The blog is still going, now at blog.danielalfocea.com.
  • The podcast is where it always was, now at podcast.danielalfocea.com.
  • The newsletter is still Vamos al lío.

What changes

Email. The new address is [email protected]. The old one will keep reaching me for a long while, but it is worth switching to the new one.

Not much else. Same work, tidier name.

The audio on why AI turns dumb

I send one email a day. Everyone who signs up gets, right then, a ten minute audio on what almost nobody knows about ChatGPT and Claude.
