Back from a magical trip through Lapland with my family. ❤️❄️🦌

Now time for some less magical UI for in-line CRUD operations.

Just used the SvelteKit CLI for the first time. In under 5 mins I had a project with all the tooling. I needed, deployed to Netlify.

I wish I got to spent more time working on Svelte projects.

I ❤️ the composability of Tailwind’s Catalyst, and elegance of HeadlessUI. Recently finished up on an Autocomplete that builds on the starter kit, and putting the final touches to a provider for managing multiple dialogs.

Productivity is ☝🏻

Turning my hand to a spot of tiling. It’s incredible how relaxing work can be when you don’t see a red squiggle every time you lift your hands. 🔨 (I acknowledge that a hammer is a terrible choice for a post involving ceramic tiles.)

“I need a CloudFlare worker and some tests. This projects growing, I’ll setup NX workspace. Look how easy that was! Right, official NX plugin for CloudFlare. Amazing, everything generated for me.”

Spends the next two hours fighting TS, eslint, and the failing test the plugin generated.

Discuss. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Proof that bullying really is an effective way of getting what you want.

I love explaining to my colleagues why a Component in ProductBoard is not the same as a component, and they should think about it more like an Epic in Agile.

I ❤️ Zenstack. It’s been a game changer for our team. Adding strongly typed JSON fields is just another reason to add to the pile: zenstack.dev/blog/json-ty...

Feeling bad for my colleague Alex who finished a home rolled solution right before this was announced. Ouch 😭
