if you're ever confused about the origin of a state change in your @svelte.dev app, we just shipped a nice quality of life enhancement to the `$inspect(...)` rune (svelte.dev/docs/svelte/...) — it now automatically prints a stack trace. @pngwn.at goaded me into it

yeah the example is using node built-ins because that's what the commenter on the issue was using. but it's just a File object which a lot of things work with natively. e.g if you were using vercel blob you could just do this (which works today, just without streaming)

In our work slack we have a firehose-svelte channel which posts relevant stuff from here, reddit, HN and so on. this is the typical X post — calling it low-effort would be too kind. it's just all spam and bots and people having the same conversations in a loop and i want nothing to do with it

doesn't appear to work in firefox, requires login, is generally kinda slow, and i mostly get a bunch of errors whenever i try and use it. i don't want to be mean, it has some cool features and i know a lot of smart people spent years on it, but honestly there has to be another option

so i have to call set in my event handler? i can't just have an optimistic version of a value that was passed to me? because this is the sort of thing i would want to do
![<!-- update the selected indicator immediately on click,
rather than waiting for any async work on the /about
page to complete -->

You're thinking about this all wrong. `ui = f(state)`, right? So let's think about this in terms of functions. If you had something like this, you wouldn't expect the function to immediately return and then update the return value. you get the value when it's ready.

I keep giving LLMs a chance to impress me, whenever I encounter a boring task that they should be good at, and they keep shitting the bed. Not like 'this was too hard a problem for fancy autocomplete' shitting the bed, like 'randomly deleting swathes of code' shitting the bed

we just released SvelteKit remote functions. feel like 'minor change' undersells it a little tbh
✅ await in components svelte.dev/docs/svelte/...
✅ remote functions svelte.dev/docs/kit/rem...
🔜 async SSR
truly can't wait to ship the rest of this stuff

interesting, if not surprising, that the biggest usage gap between X and bsky is among 'learners that use AI' followed by 'learning to code'

long overdue but we made the SvelteKit router more type-safe. docs for `resolve(...)` and `asset(...)` at svelte.dev/docs/kit/$ap...
