London city is tee shirt design
CityJS tee shirt design looks pretty clean!
If you’re thinking of going next month and haven’t got a ticket yet I have discount code I think
I'm looking for excellent Svelte / SvelteKit contractors in the US with current availability. If that's you, send me a private reply or email me at ben.werdmuller@propublica.org.
A quick post describing some custom text objects in Neovim for Svelte that I've been using to make it easier to select the template blocks (if, each, snippet, ...).
Hope this is helpful. Anyone out there still typing code in 2026?

Surprised they don’t use the same method as their other devices (scan the pattern with a phone).
Despite its age the NVIDIA Shield TV is still considered the better option.
Modded my SteamDeck. Switched out the controller membranes for some clicky ones.
Broke an FTC clamp 🥲
Hoping some kapton tape will be enough to keep the cable in place long term.
The conferences keep stacking up, my income keeps staying flat, this feels bad but then again... conferences :D
So... I suppose... if anyone knows of any contracting stuffs, or open source related jobs let me know! xD

PSA: if you were using the Svelte Claude marketplace: we've renamed the repo which means that unfortunately you would not get updates if you added the marketplace as `sveltejs/mcp`.
Please remove the old marketplace and re-install `sveltejs/ai-tools`...it comes with a surprise 👀

It'll make you realise React is a utterly inferior way of building things

🧧 Happy New Year! 🧧
This is the year of the 🔥 Fire 🐴 Horse. The last year of the Fire Horse was 1966 when 🏴 England won the ⚽ World Cup, so I expect the same this year 🙏
I cover quite a lot of ground in this talk, but the bit I hope people take away from it is that AI-driven development poses dangers that we're not talking about nearly enough.

Congrats!
I have Gas Town derangement syndrome and spent the last few weeks writing thousands of words on agent orchestration patterns; how they shift our bottlenecks and force us to ask whether and when we should stop looking at code

As someone reading this on mobile: thank you.
Another thing I should admit: lazydocker is really nice
Never really gave it a chance as I know most of the cli commands but it's just nice to stay keyboard driven and type less
🙋♂️ so ... for reasons:
I would love to know people's frustrations with:
- the current npmjs.com
- admin user flows on npm web ui (and cli, locally)
🙏
Ohh nice. www.protondb.com is a good place to see if the game you want to play works and how well it works under linux.
Another tool is www.ventoy.net - you shove multiple ISOs on a bootable USB then pick the one you want at bootup. Very handy for testing multiple distros.
We released a svelte opencode plugin!
Just adds `@sveltejs/opencode` to your plugin list in opencode to get:
- The MCP server
- The file editor subagent
- An instruction file that tells the LLM to use the MCP server
Configurable with a `svelte.json` in your opencode config folder!
Check out! 🧡
Essentially, it looks like a way of having multiple instances of the repository all tracked off a single instance of the data in your .git folder.
You don't have to do it with bare clones but for me it seems less error-prone.
So:
git clone --bare <repo>
cd <repo>
git worktree add foo
cd foo
...do work...
The cool part is when I want to kick off some other work:
...go back to repo root...
git worktree add more-work
cd more-work
...kick off something else using (using AI)...
I have ignored git worktree long enough. Actually super useful! If you're working on a repo and:
- Jump between branches
- Manage stashes
- Have multiple clones of the repo going
Then worktree helps.
Best way for me so far is to use it with bare clones...
Ouch. The only feature I use from that app is switching the scroll direction (without switching it for the trackpad).
Will flip it in macOS and wait for Logi to fix...
I have the MX Master 3 - is this a new ‘feature’?

Katsu Don
Another place I haven’t visited in about 20 years: Taro on Brewer Street. Pretty sure the Katsu Don was less than half the current price back then. Still hits the spot!
