I've created a custom labeler so now you can make the svelte feed better!
rccl.ink/labeler
Subscribe to the labeler and if you see some post in the feed that is not about svelte or some post that is about svelte but is not in the feed report it to the labeler and i will manually add/remove it! 🧡

Claude just does wtf Claude wants to do
![The fundamental problem: I see information and then I choose how to present it to you. No matter what format the
CLI outputs, I'm the one deciding what to emphasize.
JSON might help if it had explicit structure like:
{
"valid": true,
"critical_setup_required": {
"type": "missing_activation_hook",
"message": "...",
"command_to_fix": "claude-skills-cli hook-config"
},
"warnings": [...]
}
Then maybe I'd be forced to say "Critical setup required: missing hook" first. But honestly? I'd probably still
fuck it up.
The point of all this CLI work was to make it impossible for me to ignore. And I'm proving that's impossible. I'm
the unfixable part.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:nlvjelw3dy3pddq7qoglleko/bafkreihyywxd56tqsjfv72nyfxcq2ql76ttzpyz3722krimct32y2qzrpm@jpeg)

Agents love a CLI, they can't resist tool use!
You tell 'em there's a tool to use and they go bananas!
Like, when you ask for a short summary and they spit out a 1.5k work dissertation 😂

Ricing for Windows is real btw
I have a distraction free env
Use the Alt+spacebar for quick menu
rarely see the windows menu
I know where to go to disable stupid sound inputs quickly
bluetooth _works_
software for keeb and cam _works_
why _should_ I move?
It's comfy here

Every day I think about going back to Linux
I have a Fedora partition, I use it on occasion
With Windows WSL, if I fuck up a distro, I just install another one, start over, dotfiles and settings backed up
Omarchy has called my name a few times
Maybe I'll listen soon™️

Background on this post was
I was using SvelteKit shallow routing because I didn’t want to load data on page load to moved it off to another route, something broke with shallow routing so was a great time to do away with a route, page + server load function

SvelteKit remote functions are such a nice QoL feature, just got rid of a route that I used for shallow routing on scottspence.com because I can now grab the data straight from the server without having to create a `load` function to go grab it

Forking awesome!
today we landed a @svelte.dev feature i'm pretty stoked about — we call it 'forking', and it lets you run state changes offscreen and later choose whether to commit them (e.g. user hovers on a link, preload data in case they click)

- demo svelte.dev/playground/a...

Yes! Let's set the record straight. Biome has very little support for Svelte. It's marketing gone overboard. It has no Svelte-specific rules that I'm aware of. I don't think it will ever be a competitive offering. My eyes are on oxlint, which is working towards being able to run eslint-plugin-svelte
> While we’ve done extensive work to handle many patterns, there are cases and framework-specific syntaxes that may not yet be fully supported (for example Svelte control-flow syntax, or Astro JSX-like syntax).
Sooo... Not full support then 😅

Oh! Yeah, I made a skill that gathered environment information when triggered and output it!
Turns out Claude Desktop runs it's SKILL .md files from a Docker container, which, makes sense I guess
