I just blew 250 cursor credits and $8 in overages on mapping out svelte state over a monorepo (v4 to v5 migration) 🥲 That's nearly a $20 document 😅

This “ecosystem” argument for Svelte pissed me off! You’re saying “the web” isn’t a large enough ecosystem? The fucking web is the ecosystem FFS!

Just had a PR, “does this need to be Svelte 5?” Me “no, but this is a great opportunity to convert it to Svelte 5” PR gets approved and merged with no further edits I’m now thinking to troll the whole team by converting everything to Svelte 5 and force them to get to know

I’ve rebuilt #react based Netlify CMS from the ground up using #svelte. Yes, it’s a lot of work, but if you’re trying to solve hundreds of issues in an old app, rewriting it is way easier.

I've only just discovered there's a Playwright Docker container you can use in GitHub CI! 🤯 From my shitty maths on my site w/~200 tests I got ~30% reduction in CI run times!! 😏

I have a cursor sub until September and there’s Claude 4 on that there editor! They’ve resolved a lot of the things that pissed me off about using it, I bet they still have a fucked up MCP implementation though

Used the knowledge I gained from @dominikg.dev’s testing talk at @sveltesociety.dev Summit to use vitest-browser-svelte for testing components in github.com/spences10/sveltekit-embed Now thinking about this approach for the large monorepo I’m transitioning to Svelte 5

Although I’ve upgraded Svelte to Svelte 5 there’s still an audit I need to do for all the state now 😅 I’ve not even looked to see where all the writables are 😅😅 Nor are any of the squillions of components and pages to move to Svelte 5 syntax 😅😅😅

✨ The results are in - Opus 4 and Sonnet 4 are very capable of writing Svelte 5 code out of the box, without excessive prompting or llms.txt files! All results here: khromov.github.io/svelte-bench... Bonus: A TODO app written with Svelte 5 / Opus 4 in one shot: svelte.dev/playground/e...
