i have a growing @e18e.dev roadmap of very useful tools we could all benefit from

to make it happen, we need two things: sponsors, and leads/champions 👀

if you're interested in either, come chat to me and i'd be happy to show you through the roadmap we have!

A historic first today as Opus 4.5 scores 100% on SvelteBench - the first model to do so. We're hard at work on the next version of SvelteBench that will use an agentic approach, if you have feedback, submit it here: github.com/khromov/svel... #svelte #ai

After way too many rounds of review, `hydratable` is out! This new low-level Svelte API isn’t one you’ll find yourself reaching for often, but it’s extremely useful to libraries. During SSR, function results are serialized alongside your HTML…

I'm looking for my next opportunity in the front-end space 🌐

I've worked at some great companies: Hugging Face, V7, Appwrite, and Significa.

I've built NPM packages with 400k downloads/week, and am an avid open-source contributor.

Let me know if you want to work together!

Played lots of games, learned I can get them for free when reviewing them. Noticed that I started enjoying writing about them more than playing them. So I wanted to become a journalist but job market + not writing about games not that fun. Applied for CS at university instead.
What’s the lore behind choosing your career path ?

Nothing to see here, just a few Svelte milestones.
For SvelteKit alone I'd need to add 6+ more notable user-land features.
I'm thinking about turning this into a less noisy interactive (with links).

Time flies - still enjoying every minute of this ride!

What's up with companies advertising @svelte.dev jobs, but then when you talk to them they're a React shop?

It happened three times this week 🤷.

PS: Yes, I'm looking for Svelte work. I've used Svelte for 6 years!

For those who don't know yet - since a few weeks we've a showcase of great libraries so to speak.

It's not exhaustive though - there are sooo many more great Svelte libraries out there. But it's a good starting point and should help you fight the "Svelte ecosystem small???" doubts.

Great thread about the implications of not modeling your data flow carefully. You'll end up with workarounds for workarounds.
People give `useEffect` a bad rap, but it isn't usually the source of the problem. The real problem is too many `useState`s.
Devs fail to see how their data is connected and model it too discretely. As those connections appear, it is easier to synchronize than refactor the model. 1/
