Hey @ynabofficial.bsky.social 👋 I see you're still using Ember for your app (yay!). I was wondering if you were interested in a conversation about upgrading your app to get onto Vite. I'm an Ember core team member and a big YNAB fan 😂

Very productive and interesting days at @emberfest.eu last week! Back to work this week and already I'm on clear path now to implementing new features like GJS and @vite.dev. Let's go! #emberjs

Can I just say @antfu.me is the best! Such amazing projects, such care taken with the smallest detail. I'm saying this because I needed a solution and came across vite-plugin-restart, which saved my bacon. But I took a look at the code and it's neat, elegant, featureful without bloat. Perfect 🎉

ember-cli-mirage doesn't work with Vite. Our @nickschot.bsky.social has written a guide about how to migrate to ember-mirage instead, so your MirageJS test setup keeps working with Embroider and Vite. Read the post 👇   mainmatter.com/blog/2026/07... #emberjs

Ember now builds on Vite by default (has worked for some time actually). I am truly amazed by the ability of Ember, even being old, less popular and less sponsored, to keep reinventing itself in a good way: providing strong backwards compatibility and a clear path forward without stagnating in time.

I've just been made aware of the term "work slop", and I have had an epiphany LLMs have amplified the Dunning-Kruger effect in the workplace. People who don't understand why things are wrong are pushing LLM slop on experts who have to review and constantly push back across the confidence gap.
