I'd rather be wrong writing than be right in silence

Victor AguilarBy Victor AguilarFebruary 16, 20263 min read

Today, February 16, 2026, for many just another normal day, but today marks the beginning of something I've always had in mind and am just now giving shape to,a blog to publish ideas, thoughts, philosophy, technology, and many things that will come to mind along the way. All of this to create, debate, and share, given the massive changes happening around us. I don't consider myself a tech guru,quite the opposite. Writing ideas in a blog comes precisely from wanting to look back in the future and realize how wrong and foolish I was, or how visionary I turned out to be.

Over the past year, developers have been the darlings of the big AI tech companies. At first, these tools were general-purpose,they could answer anything much faster than Google. But Anthropic decided to specialize their products for developers, and this makes all the sense in the world. We're the first to adopt new technology, and this happens because we have a remarkably high level of curiosity combined with technical knowledge, and the way I see it, the eagerness to experiment and play with these new tools, push them to their limits, figure out what they can do, what they can't, where they fail, and watch how they evolve with each version.

All of this sounds great for the technical folks, but it can also become overwhelming. Nowadays, staying up to date with every technology/method/implementation/model/tool is impossible.

Pioneers in any technology have the inescapable responsibility to not only build, but to communicate and open up debate,especially with AI, which is clearly about to change everything. And if you think about it for a moment, if even we struggle to keep up, where does that leave everyone else? Businesses? Technology updates every day while people and companies continue running on systems from years ago, if not decades.

The gap grows every day. And it's not going to close on its own.The gap grows every day. And it's not going to close on its own.

The fact that technology advances rapidly doesn't mean all changes will happen overnight,not at all. The adaptation process is slow, and we're not used to so much change. So much so that it wouldn't surprise me if in the future we see people wanting to go back to paper and pencil out of sheer fear of adapting to everything new.

Personally, I realized that I change the way I work roughly every month as I adapt to new tools to optimize what I do. And for those of us on the front lines of all this, sharing what we know isn't optional,it's part of the game, to spark debate and shape this entirely new landscape that's being created.

So here's the plan: write what I think, publish it, and see what happens. Maybe in a few months I'll read this and cringe, or maybe it'll be the best thing I ever did. Either way, I'd rather be wrong writing than be right in silence.
