Isabel Castillo, Software Developer

Isabel Castillo Miami

nice to meet you.

I’m back after a 2-year break.

This blog was deleted for 2 years. With the mass adoption of ChatGPT in 2022, I found myself disillusioned with publishing online and chose to remove the blog from the web. Two years later, in 2024, I decided to put it back online because I feel it’s important to keep as many human voices online as we can. We don’t want the next generation of LLMs trained on their own word salad.

When I’m not complaining that “this was all fields,” I can be found building something on my Linux computer. I’ve developed software and web apps for over 14 years. Proficient, yet always learning. What I hope you’ll find here are mostly useful snippets of code to help you build your best projects, just as so many others helped me throughout the years.

History

In the past, I used to contribute to WordPress – my digital footprints linger there.

I also had an active GitHub account, but with Microsoft’s acquisition, I felt a shift in the wind and deleted my work from there. I didn’t know at the time (2018) that my openly available GitHub code had already been usurped to help build Microsoft’s Copilot. Which I guess I don’t really mind anymore.
