I'm having so much fun with @htmx.org, Web Components and View Transitions while developing a simple app that can help me practice my Dutch.

I'm getting a really smooth UX with just a couple of lines of code. The whole Web Component is just ~150 LOC including CSS, HTML and JS.

I had a list of 1.8K words that I wanted to translate, I used same prompt. Both web.

- Deepseek: Thought 5 seconds, processed, and returned a two columns csv.
- ChatGPT: hallucinated the amounts of words, over-engineered a list of "solutions", contradicted itself. I gave up.

Ready to participate at the OGP Summit!

As usual, printer's systems cannot handle my last name properly.

Is it me or Github is working terribly today? It doesn't list PRs nor releases and the UI is really buggy all the time.

My dream is to build software like these. And I think the building blocks for it are there: hypermedia, HTML and CSS with a pinch of Javascript. We can build a web that last.

Opening the homepage of a "modern" website will transfer you 100mb of data.

Considering that lots of low-cost mobile plans have 2GB of data a month, just reading the page will cost you 5% of your montlhy quota.

Just crazy.

Todo listo para el IV Encuentro Nacional de Datos Abiertos representando a @okfn.bsky.social

La cultura abierta y el movimiento abierto está es un momento complicado. Vamos a despabilar un poco con propuestas audaces.

Interesting data of the AI Economics: OpenAI is valued in 157 Billons, it generates 300 Millons of revenue (0.0019%) and it has a loss of 5 Billons a year.

I'm not that much into dad jokes but I'm all in with the mix of philosophy and programming :D

And always remember: "microservices responds more to an organizational structure than a software need."

It is not a better architecture nor a better design pattern per se. Choose what works for you, what makes your software sustainable and easier to maintain in the long term
