When reducing dependencies in Svelte projects, I was really surprised how many dependencies the typical glob library has and ended up switching most of the JS ecosystem to tinyglobby once it became available. With one final PR pending, the Svelte ecosystem is nearly free of extra glob dependencies!

Watching Americans do woodworking on YouTube is wild. "So we need to cut 1/8th of an inch off the height which is 78 and 2 8ths and a quarter..." Just LOL. We have a mixed system too, just use metric!

The CMA found that web apps are NOT CURRENTLY a viable replacement for native apps on iOS, and that multiple content providers had indicated that Apple's restrictions on browsers were to blame: 8/12

Apple's mask-off suppression of PWAs has been shockingly effective, amd regulators around the world are connecting the dots, even if the tech press continually fail to.

I will only buy your products if your TV advert features black people. That's my new rule.

now do cars

Struggling? Can't decide which shit mainstream indie music to listen to? Get some plumbers round to work on your bathroom.

Wonder how long these will last!

Man Wouldn't Have Worn Costume To Work If He'd Known He Was Getting Laid Off

Engineers are rewarded for correctness. The fewer mistakes they make, the more they get paid. Claude AI is a system whereby the more mistakes it makes, the more it gets paid.

psa: WRITE FUCKING TESTS

Bluetooth is a nice example of where we leverage a limitation in something and use it as a feature.

lol — and i can’t stress this enough — lmao

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

Discord is getting tiring. Every time I load the app it tells me there's a new .deb file (you know, rather than literally use .deb files how they are designed) which I have to download (you know, rather than literally use .deb files how they are designed), and install (you know, rather than use ...

btw I think a rational way to respond to any mention of AI in modern society is to quickly turn and stare directly at the person and scream GEEE-PEE-TEEEEEEEEE in their face

"we built a ChatGPT with insane upgrades" no you didn't, you built an AI Agent. ChatGPT isn't a synonym for machine learning platforms.

It was an absolute pleasure chatting with @kevinak.se, @brittneypostma.bsky.social and @antony.is, you're the best bunch! ❤️ And for the record, I did NOT have any influence on the title of the episode, that was all Kev. 😅

Getting hammered with calls and emails by some outsourcing agency called hidden brains. is this a technique you expect to work or something? that I'm just gonna hire you because you're pestering me with automated robot sales calls?

"they're childrens toys" but also "you should need to take a test, have a number plate, pay emissions tax, and require full insurance to ride it" and don't ride on the road, your thin bicycle is in the way of my wide car, but we are also absolutely against any infrastructure being built for you.

You won't stop Reform by calling their supporters racist

My message to Reform supporters

AI definitely wastes more developer time than it saves, in most cases. The machine is fooling you.

As if you needed more reasons to use @svelte.dev instead!

Craving a boon.

Today I learned How to spell Shoe pastry

Saoirse but pronounced Seahorse

I'm deeply saddened to hear about the existence of Charlie Kirk.

Just discovered Mocha's new and Eslint's new parallel modes (very recent indeed) and cut our build times from 8min 30secs to 1min 30secs! Woop!

Slack, fire all your UX people this is garbage

I just want to say what a great chat tool Slack is. They've removed unnecessary features such as "Reply" so that you can't tell what the ACTUAL FUCK ANYBODY IS ON ABOUT AT ANY TIME.

Now Trump isn’t dead, how’s that Epstein client list?

Sometimes I wish I had worked inthebayareeya

@developers.google.com you ok hun

Hardest part of the day is picking which meeting you're going to eat your lunch through.

Why do I have to pay to be invited to somebody else's slack if they make a channel for us? Why am I being billed for their poor financial decisions?

hello ai is here to make everything shit

Debating whether adding 6 or 10 years of Claude AI experience to my CV.

Got claude to churn out some code for me, and it used Axios. I told it to remove Axios because it is an unecessary and bad dependency (I was ruder), and it removed it and then started preaching about how fetch is better, code is cleaner, more concise etc so why Axios in the first place, slop?!

Doing a charity rally for teenagers with cancer. 3000 miles, 5 countries, 8 days, in a £500 banger of a car! Full fancy dress, the car too! Exhausting! If you want to donate to an amazing cause it would mean the world to so many. www.justgiving.com/page/outrun25

I had to do it! Black Girl Joy

I absolutely love HeatGeek but even though we've painstakingly gone with underfloor throughout our entire house, they keep adding phantom radiators onto my quote, proposals, estimates, plans, you name it, radiators at every turn. Radiators!

Forceful bike campaigners can undermine UK cycle lane planning, report finds

Storybook 9.0.0 with Svelte|Kit - let's go!

This tweet sounded better in my head.

The @svelte.london meetup group is looking for a venue! Do you know anyone that can help out?
