A few days ago I read an article by Dominiek about the 5 principles for using AI professionally and found myself constantly nodding. After years of watching technologies arrive and evolve, AI gives me the same feelings I had with other “revolutions”: enthusiasm mixed with a necessary dose of skepticism.

Dominiek’s article especially resonated with me because it perfectly describes what we’re experiencing: a world where AI is getting into everything, but not always in the most useful or sensible way.

Moments of change, moments of evolution, a constant in my life, with the 25th anniversary of the creation of the web I’ve entered “review” mode and I’m highly perplexed.

I’ve been doing things for the same time (25 years), enjoying, always with the same concept and particularity: Enjoyment and result, but it hasn’t been relevant for a long time (which is also not very relevant).

I’ve realized that the usual thing is to do things within your comfort zone, and I’ve never had one or knew one could exist, hence I’ve touched and done unusual things or perhaps “untimely”, when a certain technology could be in fashion “Buzz” I hadn’t been using it for a long time because it didn’t give me what something else gave me,…

I’ve started to see what I’ve been touching lately, and not surprisingly, it’s… simply “eccentric”, in the sum of elements but not in the use of each one.

Text Editor: Sublime Text, Atom I can’t get used to it (largely due to its complicated integration with Go and Gb), and the same applies to atom for PHPStorm. In the terminal, my header editor is Joe and this has an explanation: my first text editor was WordStar and I’m a nostalgic.

One of the recurring conversations in gatherings over a beer is the current trend, by many “developers”, of not really programming to client needs but simply using modules/components/plugins/…

Excessive use of components for very simple needs

This causes the final solution to be nothing more than an amalgamation of elements, many of which were not designed for that function, and others that are really not necessary, that only create the sensation that everything is solved, but as an “AS IS” solution. The kind where you don’t touch them, because we don’t know if something might fail, nor how, nor why.

I have always used pen and paper to take notes, transforming my backpack into a collection of notebooks and notepads of all sizes and colors.

This was so until I found several applications, for the iPad, that allowed doing the same, writing on the iPad, as if it were paper.

After much searching and testing, in the end I stay with Notability, since it allows, in addition to writing by hand, inserting images, web captures, figures, … and with a price of 0’79€, incredible.

It is more than seen that the biggest ignore the smallest, but that does not mean that there are times when they do it by giving false information and a link to the true one.

On October 23rd, Saturday, in the afternoon, whoever wants can stop by the multi-use room of the City Council of El Madroño (Seville) to chat about the possibilities opened by the Network for health care and the exercise of citizen rights.

I will give a talk about Internet and rural world.

It was time to change my website a bit.

Little by little it will take shape, and in it I will put all the projects I work on, my portfolio, and my collection of code that I have been creating or compiling in recent years, which are not few.

Today is a day of changes, it will be day 0 of a great change.
