Added

  • New blog post: "Por qué mis tests no me daban confianza" (blog18, published 2026-04-23) — personal reflection on Ignacio Meléndez's post about AI + mutation testing; shares own examples (isValidDate, formatPrice) and a 5-step workflow for writing tests that can actually fail

  • data/open-source.ts: added TopoJS

4.6.6 - 2026-04-20

Added

  • New blog post: "DDD en la era agéntica: tu código es el contexto" (blog17, published 2026-04-20) — on why the codebase is the real context for agentic tools, not just the prompt; includes three interactive React Flow diagrams (context sources, chaotic codebase, DDD layers)
  • @xyflow/react 12.10.2 — new dependency for interactive flow diagrams in blog posts

Removed

  • Blog post "El estrés y la ansiedad generados por el rechazo en los procesos de selección" (blog2) — removed to avoid signaling emotional vulnerability in hiring contexts
  • Blog post "Nuevas oportunidades" (blog4) — removed due to explicit mention of job loss, which could negatively frame the portfolio during selection processes

Fixed

  • components/post-gate.tsx — <PostGate date={...} /> client component; redirects to / in production if the post date is in the future, enabling scheduled / draft posts
