A few weeks ago I had the chance to attend Platanus Hack ft. Firecrawl in Mexico City, and it was an incredible experience. The hackathon brought together a hundred hackers from all over, and the energy in the room was electric.

I recently started a new Rails project, and once again I ran into something that always bugs me: the modern CSS & JS build pipeline. Back in the old Rails days, you could get very far with Sprockets.

Una practica muy común dentro de desarrollo de software son los comentarios en el código; generalmente son buenos, aunque aveces son muy redundantes, en especial si se esta trabajando con un lenguaje de programación muy expresivo. Una de las cosas que ayudan a que nuestro código hable por si solo es nombrar todo semánticamente, si vamos a guardar algo en una variable hay que tratar de que el…
Como toda persona racional tengo algunos OCD’s. Voy a poner algunos relacionados con el web development, unos creo yo muy comunes y otros medio raros. Saber que software esta detrás de un sitio. Este remonta de los tiempos cuando pensaba que PHP era la neta del planeta, me gusta saber que software esta detrás de un sitio web, ya sea un framework un cms o alguna librería. Existe una extensión que…
