$derived = live, memoized formulas
$effect = side‑effects only

In my water‑tracker:
– $derived counts filled glasses & last‑drink time
– $effect persists data to localStorage
Right tool, right job ➜ cleaner, predictable code.

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 👇

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.

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.

I'd rather work at McDonalds then allow this.

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.

The ultimate white noise while working is listening to your own podcast to do some quality checks.

Zucc just nonchalantly announcing future layoffs due to advancements in AI.

Feel like there's probably more humane ways to do this transition.

What if I told you this was an actual spec sheet for a computer?
