Very excited about this proposal! This raises the bar for data fetching in frameworks, and unlocks some very cool new use cases for SvelteKit. We have a lot more ideas that will build on top of this work github.com/sveltejs/kit/disc…

All the @mermaidjs_ diagrams you loved, rougher! Shipped within an hour, thanks to svg2roughjs by fskpf. There are some rough edges though :)

A bad developer keeps adding complexity until it finally works. A good developer keeps reducing complexity until it can't be any simpler.

I spoke with yet another scammer today. I don't know why I do this, but here we go. It all started with a few annoying Whatsapp messages trying to scam me. But we ended up wishing each other good luck 😂 1/n

"We don't do code reviews. We trust our developers". You have no idea how often I run a PR and find it's broken. It's *extremely* common. Even from senior devs. We all make mistakes. So I trust no one. Including myself.

Excited to announce the (long overdue) 1.0 release of VitePress, a Vite Vue powered static site generator! You probably have already seen it in action if you've used the docs of Vue, Vite, Vitest, Rollup, D3, Mermaid, VueUse, Pinia, UnoCSS and more... Read more to learn why we believe it's one of the best ways to build static sites (not just docs!) blog.vuejs.org/posts/vitepre…

The urge to keep things simple intensifies...

One of my mistakes when building products used to be adding dependencies too early. Don't add a cache store until your database starts slowing down and you've tried optimizing it with indexes. Even then, start with a basic in-memory cache before adding Redis or Memcached. Don't add a full-text search engine until you've pushed your database as much as you can with whatever full-text search features it has. Don't add a message queue until your background jobs are starting to struggle with the load. Even then, start with a simple in-process queue, or see if you can use your database as a queue. Only then should you consider adding RabbitMQ, Kafka, or whatever. Every new dependency comes with a cost, one more thing to maintain, and one more thing that can go wrong. These are the things you should avoid as long as you can.

It’s been epic working on Svelte 5 for the last 9 months. It’s not far from a RC release too! So many ideas, sparks of excitement, eureka moments and complicated and frustrating sessions battling edge cases. It’s funny because after working on the React core team I told myself that I wouldn’t work on a JavaScript UI framework related project again. I kept getting that itch though. Thankfully I did! In my opinion, Svelte 5 is an important improvement to the framework ecosystem. Svelte 5 moves into a performance and code size class that was previously held by Solid. The DX improvements are huge, and although the syntax changes might not be to everyone’s tastes, the productivity gains and UX gains from being a better thought out framework will be more than worth it. If 2023 was the year of htmx, 2024 is the year of Svelte.

My summary of replies. Top 5 software I enjoy: 1. mermaid 2. ripgrep 3. fzf 4. @Neovim 5. Elden Ring Top 3 I want to try: 1. @typstapp 2. @obsdmd 3. @raycastapp And just to make my summary a little spicer, the top 3 things I don't think are the pinnacle of software 🌶️ 1. Git 2. VS Code 3. cargo
What’s one piece of software that brings you utter joy? Like, it’s done so well, almost has no bugs, and just generally so pleasant to use, you can’t believe humans actually made it! I’ll start. For me it’s ‘mermaid’. It always works even better than I expect.

Kind words like this are a big part of what makes Open-Source development fulfilling. Thank you! 😇

The JS/TS delta is what caught my attention. Happy to see it wasn't just me.

Blog from @awscloud about the energy efficiency of languages has been making rounds lately aws.amazon.com/blogs/opensou… It clams that #TypeScript was 5x less energy efficient & 7x slower, compared to #JavaScript. I dug a little deeper and the whole comparison seems to be flawed.
