Proud father moment. My daughter won the Think Award at the robotics state championship!

She put in so much effort to learn and build their autonomous code and had a lot of setbacks, but all her hard work and many hours finally paid off on the big stage.

Her team did amazing for their first year!
I wonder how old my slashdot.org account is…

Wife and I have been working on props for my daughter's living literature competition in a few days. Her group is doing "Alice in Wonderland", and we made a giant mushroom (and working on some big flowers).

"Instead of paternity leave, they ended my contract"

What's next?

1) pipestack.dev
2) Contract work to feed the family and keep our house

Over 20 years of experience, @svelte.dev since 2019, full-stack & CLIs with Typesript or Rust.

If I can help you, let me know.

Interesting to see some NPM packages, but not all or for the same days, show `0` downloads:

Svete: `2025-10-19`
React: `2025-10-18` and `2025-10-21`
Typescript: none

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)

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

It is true. We do all of this from the ground up and show real world techniques the entire way instead of just showing off features. By the end of it you have a blog with a db, full auth and user roles. We don’t use any 3rd party UI libraries just my css starter Graffiti that you can leave off.
Oh wow, 🥁 for @tolin.ski‘s SvelteKit tutorial!

This made me 🤣 this morning. Claude couldn't run the tests so it was just going to delete them (albeit going to add something back)

When writing parsers your tooling can never be good enough. But i'm pretty happy with this.

Fun little interaction challenge: one select changes the options of another, which needs to load data depending on the first.

This is how you do it with the new Svelte APIs. Comfortably fits into one screenshot.
