Re-watching Stargate SG1 on Netflix 🥰

Is a knob of butter a universally known measurement?

Ok, 8 active teammates in one go for Claude Code team mode!

Teams in Claude Code is dope!

Not posted in over a week! Hi 👋 Sent out the January newsletter this morning for what I've been working on I'm doing 'stuff' 😅

TIL there’s a 15000 file limit on Vercel deployments

New engineering term “should we Ralph it?”

New post: Zero Trust Launch Day We couldn't predict what would break. So we built the instrumentation to search production instead. First client team fully live, sub-one-hour resolution on blocks. open.substack.com/pub/engineer...

The svelte bench 2.0 is coming along, we already ported the old benchmark tests (thanks @khromov.se) but now we need to fill it up with a bunch of difficult svelte tasks and we need YOUR HELP! Go to github.com/sveltejs/ai/... and open an issue with ideas on tests that we can add (or open a PR)!

just deleted 8.5M database rows I'm not even an LLM! 😅

Got my speaker card for @cityjsconf.bsky.social for the April event in London! What do you think of the talk title? 😅

fken, wut?? I have the BBC as a referrer?? 😅 A stonking 1 visitor

Hey @techniq.dev I made a Claude code skill for layerchart as Claude kept using Svelte v4 when v5 is there and much better

you should come!

Launching a job board on the Svelte Society website very soon! 🥳 Stay tuned!

Thrilled to announce the very first 25+ speakers (more to add soon) for our #CityJSLondon event taking place this April speakers include @tej.as @thekitze.bsky.social @danielroe.dev @nikkitaftw.bsky.social @crockford.bsky.social @scottspence.dev Register now london.cityjsconf.org

🤩 I'm honoured to be in such a line up @cityjsconf.bsky.social! Thanks!

Do you genuinely get annoyed if you see someone on your first day back at work and you don’t get a “happy new year!”?

My @cityjsconf.bsky.social talk got accepted 🥳

My PR to opencode for MCP resources has been merged and released! Resources are also an underutilized primitive of MCP, the svelte MCP server uses it so that if you know you need a specific docs page for your task you can just include it upfront. Here you can see Opus 4.5 describe async svelte! 🧡

lol! "create a Neu-Brutalist landing page for cat dating app" Claude, hold my beer! 😂 I'm revisiting mcp-vibe-ui

Thanks to @mbanerjeepalmer.bsky.social feedback on Svalettab (Palettab browser extension in Svelte) there a couple of new features now 🤌 A load more new fonts and disable the loading spinner (which is literally there for whimsy alone 😅) github.com/spences10/sv...

For anyone that loved Palettab on Firefox I recreated it with Svelte and it’s been approved in the Mozilla store Svalettab ofc Also on the Crome store too github.com/spences10/sv...

What could go wrong? 😅 Medical records yolo’d into “production”

Svelte starter pack Curated by me, many people I know from the Svelte community personally go.bsky.app/QEhPG3P

I’ve been using EndeavourOS as daily driver since 19th Dec Returning to the office today using windows (with WSL) felt weird 😅 Pros and cons to each, I’m happy with EOS so far though and am sticking with it for now

With most LLMs still thinking it’s 2024 we’re screwed next week 😂

I submitted my talk(s) for @cityjsconf.bsky.social London Anyone else going in April?

lessons were learned! I'm not done though! This is _like_ the third attempt at this

Merry Christmas

Advent of Svelte 2025 was great 🎉 So many styles, so much diversity. Loved it 🧡 Have a nice end of the year See you next `pnpm i`

I am very, very happy with the real-time analytics I’ve added to scottspence.com today

Here's my experience on this related post from the other day 😅 scottspence.com/posts/switch...

In an hour and a half, we’re getting together for the first Svelte meetup in Barcelona in a breakfast format. Join us! guild.host/events/svelt...

From the @svelte.london WhatsApp group 😂

It won't admit it either! lol! so, it'll breeze through your filesystem, use CLIs to get the data it needs, then you'll say, "this would be simpler as a CLI for you to use" and it'll be like "naw dawg"

I'm looking for opportunities! Full-time/part-time remote roles. Actions speak hella louder than words, so allow me to show you all the work I have done in the last 5 years as a professional developer 🧵1/n
