Moving to Hugo

After ~12 years of running on WordPress, self hosted on AWS, I’ve decided it was time to shuffle things around, a little bit. Because sometimes there is no need for a CDN, ACID DB and a ton of code , when all you need is to host plain html.

And, of course, as a side effect… my blog is as snappy as it gets. Literally zero overhead.

This one goes to those who thrive on simplicity! 🤘

Farewell WP

Tenerife

Offtopic

There’s this climatic phenomenon called Calima, where winds from Sahara bring over dust particles into the atmosphere.

This affects the Canary Islands, and the sky remains dusty for days.

Unpredictable, not good for your health, but manageable.

Nonetheless, Tenerife is a good spot for a meetup 🥃

Superpowers

OSX

I've been avoiding this Claude plugin, as ... it's just a bunch of text files, and I didn't even consider it'd be useful.

Well, I was wrong.

How is it helping me?

  1. /add-dir lets you tell Claude it’s okay to access multiple folders (think of sub-components)
  2. It automatically spawns single purpose agents, which helps with the context collapse problem
  3. And it really guides you thru brainstorming, making a plan (and saving it to disk), executing, and committing in slices

Scary good stuff eh! 🤔

iTerm2 Settings

OSX

I've been using iTerm2 for few years, and everytime I need to setup a new install... I find myself looking up how to properly set it up.

So... about time to write this post! My settings would be...

  1. Settings > Appearance > General > Theme
    • Set to Minimal
  2. Settings > Profiles > Default
    • Colors
      • Defaults: Background to pitch black
    • Window
      • Transparency set to 20%
    • Keys > General
      • Left Option key: Esc +
      • This enables Option + Backspace to delete words
    • Keys > Key Bindings: New Shortcut for Option ←
      • Send Escape Sequence
      • Esc+ b
    • Keys > Key Bindings: New Shortcut for Option →
      • Send Escape Sequence
      • Esc+ f
  3. Settings > Advanced > Session
    • Disable Session Restoration
    • Disable When restoring a session (…) draw a banner saying Session Contents Restored
  4. Settings > Advanced
    • Disable Restore window contents at startup

Looks somehow like this:
