Changelog

What changed on this site

New pages, posts, tools and fixes on gabegiro.com, dated and newest first. Last update: .

November 2026

  1. New page

    Credit retainer page

    A new service page for the credit retainer: a pre-paid monthly plan where each fix or feature costs a known number of credits, agreed before any work starts. Unused credits roll over.

October 2026

  1. Improvement

    Lower prices on every offer

    Every fixed-price service and both retainers now cost a quarter of what they did. The scope of each offer is unchanged; the pricing page and each service page show the new figures.

September 2026

  1. Fix

    One contact address

    Every page now points at the same email, info@gabegiro.com, and the contact page shows it in plain sight instead of hiding it behind a form.

  2. Fix

    Default social share card

    Pages without their own preview image now share with a proper default card on LinkedIn, Slack and other link previews, instead of pointing at an image that did not exist.

  3. Content

    Four posts published

    Four posts that had been sitting on the blog as coming-soon teasers got their full bodies and went live: GitHub Actions Is the Weakest Link, Your AI Skill Catalog Has a Token Tax, Zero Billable Hours: The Case for One Writer and Launch Your Task Agents in Plan Mode, Not Auto.

  4. Fix

    Conversion tracking that actually records

    Form submissions, booking clicks and CTA clicks were being lost because the browser navigated away before analytics could send them. Those events are now handed over to the next page and sent from there, so the funnel is measurable end to end.

  5. New page

    Documentation handbook

    A new /docs section: 19 reference pages on how engagements are priced, planned, delivered and handed over, plus what this site publishes for crawlers and AI assistants (llms.txt, sitemap, structured data). Prices on those pages are read from the same source as the pricing page, so they cannot go stale.

  6. Improvement

    Richer structured data on every page

    Every JSON-LD block on the site was deepened so search engines and AI assistants get a complete description of each page, with a build-time check that fails if any block is too thin.

August 2026

  1. Content

    Post: How I Run a Client's Kotlin Codebase with Claude Code

    A walkthrough of how I keep a client's Kotlin codebase legible to Claude Code: what goes into CLAUDE.md, what re-orientation costs without it, and where to start.

    Post: The n8n Production Failure Field Guide

    A field guide to the ways n8n workflows fail in production and how to catch each one before a client does.

  3. Improvement

    Scheduled blog releases

    Blog posts can now be merged ahead of time and go live on their release date, so publishing no longer depends on someone pressing a button that day.

July 2026

  1. New page

    Accessibility statement and AAA contrast

    Both the light and dark themes were reworked to meet WCAG 2.2 AAA contrast, checked automatically on every build. A new /accessibility page states the target, the known gaps and how to report a problem.

  2. Improvement

    One consistent way to book a call

    Every booking button on the site now goes through one component, opens the right calendar slot for its context, and opens external calendars in a new tab. Paid checkouts land on a new thank-you page.

    See it →
  3. New page

    Honest comparison matrix

    The /compare page was rebuilt as a plain checkmark matrix comparing a senior solo engineer with a freelancer, an agency, a full-time hire and no-code platforms, including where I am not the right fit.

    See it →
  4. New page

    Glossary and security pages

    Two new reference pages: a glossary of the terms used across the site, and a security page describing how I handle client code, data and access, without certification badges I do not hold.

    See it →
  5. New page

    Pricing on one page

    A single /pricing page listing every service tier, with the same prices published as machine-readable offers for search engines and AI assistants.
