So, I was setting up again my old intel macbook from 2020 because the security restrictions around personal usage of work laptops are becoming a bit too uncomfortable (although standard).

Then I remembered I had this site still going, and that sometime ago I pushed some changes that were never published. So, I started doing some changes to the site while setting up the tools: lazyvim, wezterm, lazygit, tokyo night and caskaydia mono nerd font.

You can tell I’m still a noob at vim because I just wont face the work of adding links for the items in the list above haha. Wanna save me some frustration. There’s always tomorrow for that!

It’s been four years or so, phew. A while indeed. Need to review the resume content and links, and probably add up some new content as well.

I’m learning a lot about technology organizations, scale, behavior and people in these latest years, but need to find the way to post without breaking any policies.

I’ve updated the site to use Bootstrap 5.3 from a CDN. Wanted to try out tailwindCSS but I saw I needed to build and I said hell naw. Another thing to try out some other day.

Also set up a new (better) pic in the home page!

Definitely should write more. Let’s hope that happens soon™.

Some months ago a workmate suggested we upgraded some of our pages from Bootstrap version 3.4 to 4.4. We didn’t do it in the end, since this came up inside a specific project and we didn’t want to fix some other critical pages while doing this upgrade.

Also we had some voices in the team advocating for ditching Bootstrap altogether, so, in the face of several possibilities, inaction took the best of us.

Anyway, while doing this work several differences in the usage of classes in the HTML markup made me curious about Bootstrap 4, so I decided to give it a try on this very site.

This past couple of days I have set this jekyll project to use the latest and greatest from Ruby and Jekyll, removed MaterializeCSS and moved everything to Bootstrap 4. In the meantime, I’ve changed the colorscheme of the site, as well as lots of copy, the layout and navigation (now you get to see my face when you first enter the site!).

I’ve kept everything as vanilla Bootstrap as possible, and it’s fast to use. Looking at the dev tools I see there’s a ton less of CSS than it used to be on previous versions, so that’s a win!

Going to bed everyday with the feeling of having accomplished something else than work is really hard. I talk about it on my latest blog post for CookiesHQ:
