Weekly Update #20250504

I upgraded the blogging engine for this site from an outdated version of Hugo (0.92.2) to the latest release (0.147.0). This update also required refreshing the theme (Ananke). I’ve documented my experiences with blogging engines here, here, and here. Despite these updates, I’m still not fully satisfied, and I believe my thoughts on Hugo itself could warrant a dedicated post. A discussion on Hacker News recently caught my attention and brought back many memories.
Nitro, the web server behind Nuxt, has released a new version. This update includes a (very) small contribution from me.
The push for a full return to the office –working onsite five days a week– feels inevitable. The driving factors seem to be poor management and the tolerance of low productivity in some workplaces.

Weekly Update #20250427

My attempt to write more frequently by sharing random updates clearly failed (just look at when I published the last one).
I had a short and enjoyable vibe coding session today. You can check out the result. Over the past year, I’ve been dedicating significant time to learning DJing, and building a music library is a big part of that. Coding credits go to Gemini Pro 2.5.
On a related note, I really enjoyed this feature on Avalon Emerson.
This rant on Vercel’s approach with Next.js deserved more attention on HN (though not surprising it didn’t). It offers valuable insights, even if there’s a hint of bad blood.
I discovered a great blog about scaling (tech) organizations: Stay SaaSy. The content is much deeper than the typical superficial advice you often find on LinkedIn (the vendemotos crowd that we say in Spanish).
Tricking good faith social groups with LLMs, very sad to read. For some reason, I could not avoid connecting this to the Bergier Commission.
