Working on a project with long build times and realized we used to know a build was done when the hard drive went quiet. A friend suggested we need text notifications from local builds.

As I code a new app in Svelte 5, I realize I solve state management issues in a minutes instead of hours. $snapshot, $raw, and $derived.by are a godsend when needed. So impressed that Svelte 5 shipped with them already there for when I hit those scenarios.

In meetings where I am there just to listen, I’ve started thinking of them as the worst podcast series ever.

I put photography as an interest here. I love the amazing photos, but if one is too clear, too detailed, or too lucky a shot, I think ‘That’s AI’ and scroll on by.

Migrating a component library from Svelte 4 to 5.
I love: migration tooling, spreading event handlers via ...rest, and snippets!
