You’ve got to witness this

And they say you can't do everything with Svelte...dunno it seems pretty capable U_U

I'm gonna replace all my git usage with this. lol

Give me a few weeks - I’m working on a theory for our profession.

i've been reflecting a lot lately on how so much of getting better as a developer doesn't show up in your commit history. it takes months and has no real PR/ artifact to show for it until one day you just... notice you got better at something.

wrote a post on it: sarahgerrard.me/posts/slow-p...

Guilty.

JS Benchmark A straightforward online JavaScript benchmarking tool and REPL with support for ES modules and libraries.

“But aren’t proxies super slow?”

Nah. Depending on the browser it ranges from 50% slower to exactly the same.
Which unless you’re creating millions of symbols, is inconsequential.

jokes on them, ignoring my inbox has long been part of my security posture

Requiring `Signed-off-by` moving forward · Issue #62577 · nodejs/node As a heads up... moving forward, the project will require all contributors to explicitly sign-off on commits using the Signed-off-by: Name <Email> trailer in commits. This will be enforced by a new...

Moving forward, nodejs/node will require all commits from people (not bots or other automation) to include the `Signed-off-by` attestation for the DCO (`git commit -s`).

We should have been doing this all along ever since we adopted the DCO.. but better late than never.

And what I absolutely started to love:

basically applying the same folder structure for large features (either collocated or in compositions:

$lib/compositions/
- /HeavyFeature // all children, utils here following the same Path + Feature nesting
- HeavyFeature.svelte

Keeps the folder roots clean

My baseline is something like this:

$lib/
- $components // atomic + shared
- $compositions // simpler than molecules/organisms bla bla
- $data // local + data fetching stuff
- $layouts // if many
- $stores // .svelte.ts
- $styles
- $types
- $utils
- config.ts

Some features I collocate with routes

This week I learned that there’s an Astro core dev based in Berlin?

If you ever happen to have travelling plans for Berlin (maybe for one of the dev conferences), I’d love to see (and help?) an Astro community event to happen. We can probably summon some Astro+Svelte users from the wider region.

I'm exploring a Svelte version of Remotion for making videos using code

Gemma 4 and what makes an open model succeed Hint: it's not benchmark scores.

In my latest post, I quickly review Gemma 4, Google's exciting new open models, but mostly focus on the questions around what makes an open model succeed in the long term.

EmDash: a CMS built for 2026 | Joost.blog Cloudflare launched EmDash, a CMS designed for AI-native development. Agent-first tooling, sandboxed plugins, edge deployment. Analysis from Joost de Valk.

A little speechless reading @joost.blog call EmDash "the most interesting thing to happen to content management in years". Joost created Yoast and is basically WordPress royalty.

Proton Meet Isn't What They Told You It Was Proton built Proton Meet to escape the CLOUD Act. They built it on CLOUD Act infrastructure. Their website promises "not even government agencies" can access your calls. The company routing them hands...

Chatto uses LiveKit, too, but we self-host LiveKit to avoid the issues described in this post. No idea why Proton doesn't self-host, it's trivially easy.

(imho)

Or let’s say that given the velocity of things I absolutely can’t be bothered to learn the same technical terms in German as well.
I don’t have the mental and cognitive capacity for this. And they would be translated and translation is often blurry / imprecise. And we need precision more than ever

that’s a very empathic thought

Afaik current speech-to-text models (like parakeet) have a > 5% worse performance on non-minority non-English language so I guess translating meaning should be solve-able by now.

But I think there’s no way around English being the default language of software workers

I reckon by now it’s a battle tested implementation

Oh shit, thanks for the reminder! I forgot about watch!

And yes - totally agree on the $effect killer
