Are there any developers that are refusing to use AI in anyway to help them to code?
Would love to chat with you on the HTML All The Things podcast to discuss the reasons and how it's going.

Scratching your head over Svelte 5’s new runes—especially $derived vs $effect?
You’re not alone. This app and blog unpacks why they confuse devs and how mastering them makes your state logic crystal‑clear.

🚨 Big Tech vs Startups: Which should you bet your dev career on?
AI is lowering the barrier to entry for startups — and that means more opportunities for developers to build fast, own more, and grow quicker.
Here’s what you need to know before making the leap 👇

After diving deep into Svelte 5 runes I can say confidently that derived can do 99% of the reactive state functionality required.
Effect is hardly ever needed.

Building a little water tracking app to help teach the differences between derived and effect runes in Svelte 5.
Might actually use it though cause I definitely haven't been drinking enough water.

This week I want to dive into two important Svelte 5 runes.
$derived - use to compute values from other reactive values
$effect - listen to changes on reactive variables and perform an action when a change occurs.
Going to create and share a ton of examples with each one to learn.

Claude, ChatGPT, Deepseek they have one thing in common.
Tech bias.
Most libraries that aren't React or Next.js don't really have a chance because AI just doesn't have enough code to learn on.

The amount of remote work red flags in this post.
If you're company needs to put spyware on your personal computer to take a photo of your face every 7min, run for the fucking hills.

Got tired of manually creating our podcast embeds for different blog platforms.
Made a quick little sveltekit app that pulls in the 5 latest HTML All The Things podcast episodes from spotify and creates the embeds for them from their ids.
It's ugly but it works.

One thing I've come to realize is that the placebo effect is very real.
If someone believes in something it's very possible it could help them.
So if you want to use Next.js over SvelteKit be my guest.

Do I have any QA engineers here looking for work?
We're looking to hire someone with experience writing end to end tests for sveltekit (or other meta frameworks) and dealing with CI/CD testing amount other things!

I think developers overuse async/await way to much.
Promises can sometimes provide way better performance and have better ways of handling different states (errors, pending, rejected, etc).

Pretty clear that the current number 1 goal of all AI platforms is to replace developers as quickly as possible.
Regardless if they are fully able to or not in the short term, you need to take this threat seriously.

My number 1 reason for using TypeScript is the actually trustable autocomplete it offers.
The rest of the features are a bonus.

Knowing the difference between client and server has become harder and harder over the years due to the popularity of meta frameworks like next.js, sveltekit, nuxt.js, etc.
JavaScript runs on both client and server so we can't even use language as the boundary.
