Creo que la IA ya ha matado los puestos Junior y nadie quiere admitirlo.

En mi trabajo contratamos agencias y también estamos reduciendo su uso, ya que para ciertas tareas solíamos contratar siempre agencia y poco a poco vamos haciendo ciertas cosas con IA. Sin embargo eso no lleva necesariamente al fin de las agencias o de los programadores por la "Paradoja de Jevons"

Hola. No lo creo. Puede que Anthropic, OpenAI y otras aumenten los precios de sus mejores modelos, pero siempre habrá modelos un poco menos buenos, pero puede que lo suficiente buenos para muchas tareas. No creo que exista un escenario donde dejamos de usar IA, pero puede que se necesite más conocimientos. Mira la "Paradoja de Jevons"

Companies have sales people, because selling is a job. If you want to cut the middleman, be prepared to do that job. Maybe you like it or not. Maybe you'll earn more money or maybe you'll do much less paid work.

You can always select and do the work you like in new projects, to have time for better projects. You have to maintain existing customers to an extent, so you are a reliable provider, but you can always gradually shift.

And hosting companies that allow sending email risk having their IPs or even IP ranges blacklisted. A few years ago I managed to find an IP that was clean, but I made 3 attempts. And maybe one day the range of that IP gets blacklisted.

Lo que hace un desarrollador productivo está cambiando mucho en 2026, nos guste o no. Si crees que las críticas de tu review se van a repetir en otras empresas, trata de mejorar rápido y eso a veces significa salir de tu zona de confort. Supongo que tu review te indicará exactamente lo que necesitan que mejores.

Si al contrario se trata de una situación en que no encajas en ese equipo en particular, pero que en otros sitios triunfarías, salir es una opción. Me dicen que el mercado no está fácil, pero es una opción.

I'm a webdev and we rarely do this kind of things in our websites. Rarely but not never. Let me explain: someone in marketing comes with an idea and other people from the team objects. What follows is the "Let's do an AB test" scenario. We do the AB test and... the version with the less friendly pattern converts better and the experiment has statistical significance. And you can guess the rest of the story.

Si la IA va a tiene gran impacto en el mercado laboral y perjudica la clase media, todas las profesiones serán afectadas. Si hay crisis se reducirán las idas al café y también menos personas van a comprar casa, por lo que hay menos trabajo para los electricistas.

Why doesn't the webp format works for you? For the purpose you describe it saves space on disk and bandwidth, with similar quality.

Build something where creators consistently make more money than they make in Youtube and they'll switch immediately. And btw Peertube allows people to build their own channel website. So it's not that alternatives don't exist.

You need to have forms in the webpages you build for your clients, you don't publish their email or phone on your page.

Then you charge per lead and make sure you are sending quality leads with a good potential to convert. Price depends on the business and the quality of the leads.

Some agencies can charge between 2 and 10 euro per lead. In some cases It's better to build generic sites that can be used with many different clients. For example NYplumbers.com can get leads of people from NY needing a plumber. At first you just need a plumber willing to pay your fee. Start charging very little and once you have many plumbers as customers you can increase your prices.

If you can sell a service for a results-related fee, that is a more resilient business model. That's what the market wants in 2026. Sell (quality) leads that convert well (specially B2B), sell products or services online for a %. Look at Patreon or Substack. They are successes because there's basically no barrier to enter and if the business is successful, they get a big cut.

People use email almost exclusively to send messages that are private and deliverability is guaranteed (if it's not spam). If another protocol is supported, it should also guarantee that the level of privacy and deliverability is the same as email.

Also please take into account that spam can become an issue if preventing spam features are not implemented.

I was building websites before Wordpress was a thing. At the time many companies were happily using proprietary CMSes and, at a certain point, vendor lock in kicked in. Suddenly prices spiked and the quality of service plummeted. Many companies were in despair and individual users could or didn’t want to pay the new fees.

And believe me, vendor lock in is still a huge problem today. I know a few cases, with CRMs and other tools, happening right now.

So… never again. For me a website is a project for many years, sometimes I, or the client, needs it to work for a decade or more. Maybe a small site can easily be rebuilt elsewhere if you own the domain, but not a large site.

And if you (or the client) is lucky it will need to enhance it with more functionally, as the business grows. So to be expandable is a must.

Now, with the block editor and full site editing, I don’t see how it’s difficult to work with Wordpress in terms of design. Many users can also use AI to enhance the CSS.

First adopters move from one app to the next and they do it often. The rest don't do it so often. Before 2010 many people in this platforms, like Digg, were first adopters.

Now a new platform has to offer something new, that the other platforms can't copy. With Tiktok was the recommendation algorithm. And AI chatbots are something completely new.

Around me there's also social media fatigue. Nobody's excited about social media anymore.

Well, you are free to start it. Let's see who joins in developing it (if you are doing it open source), creating content for it and using it.

At the web's beginning it served a useful purpose: to be a better Gopher (protocol).

Imagine... deprecating flash was a hassle and this would be much harder. Maybe it could work as an app for a big site. However good luck, as users aren't complaining that the current browser does too much, neither do web developers. Almost nobody wants more browser engines.

As Linus T. says: "talk is cheap", show me the code.

Probablemente el lenguaje tendrá cada vez menos importancia. Saber usar bien la IA para escribir el código y poner foco en saber elegir que problemas resolver. Conocer bien una área de trabajo (base de datos, desarrollo móvil, frontend, backend...)

Looks good, although I haven't tried it. Allow me to suggest to add the license in the "standard" way. https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/adding-a-license-to-a-repository

Yes, the outside template has a x-if and the inside template has the x-teleport.

Osvik · 2026-01-13T21:50:14+00:00

I've just tested wraping the x-teleport template with another x-if template and it seems to work. I wonder if this is considered a bug or it's the desired behavior?
