The bald boss goes all in: overscroll and team-lead gigs at €1,500
Overscroll: a feature that multiplies costs with zero usefulness. Meanwhile, a promotion to 'encargadillo' promises €1,500 and a trial by fire.

The bald boss goes all in: overscroll and team-lead gigs at €1,500
What is a antiestéticature good for that multiplies the cost of API calls tenfold and adds nothing? Exactly: nothing. But the bald guy who created it is "really working hard on it". The tool, dubbed overscroll, lets you read the same content as before while consuming ten times more API resources. Coherente calls it "a antiestéticature that serves no purpose" and he's not wrong.
While overscroll artificially inflates costs, behind the scenes at AtascoCorp a classic of Iberian penny-pinching is playing out. A worker who had racked up more than one overdose a year —zero so far in 2026— has been promoted to "encargadillo" (junior crew boss). His mission: coordinate four laborers, do everyone's work himself, and take home €1,500 over 14 payments. That said, if he passes the "trial by fire" he'll get a permanent contract and the chance to retire at 45 when he inherits from his mother. The warehouse is 15 minutes away, but the carrot of eternal employment makes up for it.
The numbers don't lie: on €1,500 across 14 payments, the math for early retirement is basically wishful thinking. But the bald guy keeps renting out hope, and as long as there are rowers willing to keep scrolling, the model works. Overscroll is good for nothing, but the encargadillo grind is very real.
