Ember now builds on Vite by default (has worked for some time actually).
I am truly amazed by the ability of Ember, even being old, less popular and less sponsored, to keep reinventing itself in a good way: providing strong backwards compatibility and a clear path forward without stagnating in time.

@chris.manson.ie's herculean efforts are why vite landed in 6.8 🎉
Shipping proper (deprecations, CLIs, docs, tutorials, etc), is A TON of work, and the community helped get us there - esp on the docs and tutorials side - thank you to all who submitted a PR, opened an issue, or chatted in Discord!!

I've just been made aware of the term "work slop", and I have had an epiphany
LLMs have amplified the Dunning-Kruger effect in the workplace. People who don't understand why things are wrong are pushing LLM slop on experts who have to review and constantly push back across the confidence gap.

We decided in the Tooling team meeting today to deprecate heimdalljs in ember-cli and hopefully remove it in ember-cli@7 🎉
This needs a RFC to be written and someone to implement the deprecation itself. Do you want to help out? Please get in touch!

Me and @chris.manson.ie bisected the problem but it was a very innocuous commit...turns out the slowness was caused by the author name being uppercase...lowercasing it produced a x6 reduction 🤯🤯🤯 wtf

I'm sorry @notion.com but you crossed a line with this one. Your "Meeting detection" feature is not helpful; it is creepy.
Your docs don't go into enough detail on how you are doing this, so I'm now removing the Notion desktop app and recommending my colleagues do the same as a security precaution

The Ember Inspector doesn’t support Vite yet. We’re changing that. It means rewriting builds, bridging AMD + ESM, and getting changes into Ember itself.
