Writing, Coding, and Trying to Avoid the Vibe-Coding Trap

I just wanted to write and code—no vibe coding, no ghostwriting AI. As tools get smarter, I find myself fighting to stay in control, to keep the process human, imperfect, and mine.

Single Purpose, Single Focus, Single Task

Feeling overwhelmed by constant news and digital noise? I’m shifting toward a simpler, more intentional life, fewer screens, single-purpose gadgets, and mindful walks without content. It’s not about tuning out completely but choosing where my attention goes.

Airport Comfort Shouldn’t Be a Luxury

Airport lounges are fantastic. Most offer a comfortable environment to wait for your flight, fast internet, clean bathrooms, great coffee, and decent food.

A City I Will Always Love, but No Longer Call Home

Guadalajara is where I was born, where my family still lives, yet it no longer feels like home. I know the streets and the people, but familiarity isn’t belonging. The city will always be a part of me, but like an old friend, I no longer truly know it. Is that sad? I’m still figuring it out.

How Personal Projects Keep Me Sharp

Are We All Going to Lose Our Jobs to AI?

AI isn’t replacing software engineers or writers yet—it still makes mistakes and lacks real understanding. Right now, it’s like a smart librarian: great at finding info but not capable of deep reasoning across all domains. The key is learning to use AI effectively so we don’t get left behind.

Focus Amid Chaos

I’ve let the world’s noise pull me away from my own work. There’s a fine line between staying informed and being consumed—I’ve drifted too far. It’s time to refocus, not to escape reality, but to protect my time, my attention, and the life I’m building.

Source Code

Despite the challenges we see today, we’re living in the best era in human history. Advances in health, technology, and quality of life have transformed our world. Walking away from the event, I felt grateful—not just for the discussion, but for the time we live in.

Ridesharing Used to Be Better—Or Maybe I Just Miss the Good Old Days

Ridesharing used to be better. Cleaner cars, polite drivers, and reliable service weren’t too much to ask for—until they were. Now, we’re stuck with cancellations, worn-out cars, and rising prices. Is there hope for better transportation? I think so.

Now That’s Art
