Keflux: Flux workflow using Kefir's FRP streams
02 Jul 2015
Keflux is a small javascript library I’ve been developing during the last few days. Its purpose is to allow to use event streams to build aFlux architecture in a front-end React app. It uses Kefir for all FRP-related code, and as part of the library name. It also embraces the use ofimmutable data structures, as an integral part of how it is designed, and how it works.
Ruby, and the little things that make you happy
24 May 2014
Ruby was designed to make programmers happy, and there are lots of little things in it that contribute to achieving this goal. What amazes me is that, even after using it for years, one can still find some of these little things here and there, that you did not know about. Today was one of those days for me.
Creating records via a has_many :through association
10 Mar 2014
Today I found a really odd situation while working on a Rails 4 project. I created a couple of data models having a many-to-many association withhas_many :through in both directions. A bit of code will help clearing up things:

It’s been a while since I last posted here, and the reason is Continuum. The last few weeks have been weeks of deep change in my life. I left my country, my family, and my job, to come work with a small innovative team of software developers in the south of the world.
One search engine to rule them all

DuckDuckGo has captured my attention for a few weeks now, and it’s been a great experience so far. It’s not just about switching search engines, ditching Google completely, or anything like that. It’s about control.
My quest for the right $EDITOR
26 Aug 2013
Five years ago I was already into Ruby on Rails, and I was envy of Mac users because of TextMate. I watched every new Railscasts episode each week, religiously, and I envied Ryan Bates using that awesome editor that made things so easy. I mostly used Linux back then, and there were alternatives like gedit, but they were not the same.
Objective-C
14 Aug 2013
Objective-C is a relatively unknown programming language. Only recently, with the iPhone apps programming boom, it has managed to become more popular. The name itself induces some curiosity, subtly suggesting that there’s some Object Oriented Programming involved, with some C here and there. A clever pun, intended.
Easier use of the vim-surround plugin
12 Aug 2013
Tim Pope’s vim-surround plugin is awesome, but I sometimes find myself in a situation where I want to make it easier and more intuitive to use, perhaps inspired on how the equivalent functionality works in TextMate and Sublime out-of-the-box.

I’m starting this new blog as an experiment on using jekyll for blogging from the terminal. It is a natural next step after my workflow has gravitated more and more towards the command line and Vim in the last few months.
