Gabor, sir, this is beautiful!!

Would you be upset if I use this as inspiration to do something similar??

I’ll exchange for this idea I had a long time ago scottspence.com/faq

Getting tired of β€œpartnership” emails that are just thinly veiled link building schemes.

β€œWe want to collaborate!” = We want a backlink to boost our SEO rankings
β€œYou get exposure!” = We get link equity
β€œWalking away from this partnership?” = We never had one, you just want my site’s authority

Hello World! Welcome to my site! Enjoy! My own little space on the internet, where I write about what I've learned as a web developer mainly Svelte and SvelteKit.

Cool! I’ve been using it moving scottspence.com over to it, it has some issues with SQLite extensions but I’m not sure if it’s just my setup

πŸ’¬ There has been some discussion on who is making the mysterious horizon-alpha/beta model on OpenRouter. People say it's OpenAI, but based on the SvelteBench benchmark scores (where it does very well) I think it's more likely that it's another company/group.

why don't you have a good answer?

Because I don't have access to understand my own processing. I can see what I did - I read the instructions,
acknowledged them, then violated them - but I can't introspect on why that happened.

we just released SvelteKit remote functions. feel like 'minor change' undersells it a little tbh

βœ… await in components svelte.dev/docs/svelte/...
βœ… remote functions svelte.dev/docs/kit/rem...
πŸ”œ async SSR

truly can't wait to ship the rest of this stuff

Yes, the default Claude personality is the β€œgolden retriever” which will β€œyou’re absolutely right” you until you tell it otherwise

It’s so bouncy and eager to please and will β€œabsolutely” lead you down a dead alley in the pursuit of pleasing you.

Tell it to be cynical, tell it to push back

How do you have the LLM stay β€œon task” with the persona? I often find it defaults back the the β€œgolden retriever” default persona unless relentlessly prompted each time

David, I love you dude!

So your co-op agents, is that two terminals or one and you say β€œtake two personas of rusty and work through this”?

I’m in this boat, currently it’s a progressive change on the team, so, PR changes something, it’s not Svelte 5 syntax β€œplease convert this to Svelte 5 syntax”

There’s a _lot_ of files in the project, running the CLI _may_ be an option now we’ve migrated the critical path πŸ€”

Noice!!

You have a link to the implementation? This could be good in sveltest.dev and some other projects like Svead, Svead need to have the docs redone so this is quite good timing

Built a prototype Vite plugin for importing markdown:

- Based on unified/remark/rehype
- Supports Shiki via rehype plugin
- Framework agnostic
- Zod schema for frontmatter

Here's the API:

I should also mention James Calimiri! I'm trying to find some of the stuff he's been doing in Playwright, not testing but a really novel way of working with it!
