Hi, I’m Pablo.
I run a small operation called Pablo IO, where I build, test, and discard about thirty percent of what I try. This is the journal of that work — essays on operating, the projects that made it through, and the things that shaped any of it.
Nothing to sell here. Come in, look around, take what’s useful.
- Writing weekly essays on operating and taste
- Running /output, a podcast recorded in my own voice
- Drafting Year of Clarity, a book about spending a year on purpose

How I decide what deserves $100
A $100 test across five angles over thirty days. The cheapest version of a clear answer I've found.

On the 30% discard rate
The hard part isn't killing bad ideas. It's killing ideas you still like.

System over projects
The system is permanent. The contestants are replaceable. Guilty until purchased.
