Are there any developers that are refusing to use AI in anyway to help them to code? Would love to chat with you on the HTML All The Things podcast to discuss the reasons and how it's going.

We joined @mikek.me’s co-host Matt on the HTML All The Things #podcast to talk about #webdev on Cloud Phone, the growing #digitaldetox trend, and why flip phones still matter www.htmlallthethings.com/podcasts/why...

Scratching your head over Svelte 5’s new runes—especially $derived vs $effect? You’re not alone. This app and blog unpacks why they confuse devs and how mastering them makes your state logic crystal‑clear.

🚨 Big Tech vs Startups: Which should you bet your dev career on? AI is lowering the barrier to entry for startups — and that means more opportunities for developers to build fast, own more, and grow quicker. Here’s what you need to know before making the leap 👇

After diving deep into Svelte 5 runes I can say confidently that derived can do 99% of the reactive state functionality required. Effect is hardly ever needed.

Building a little water tracking app to help teach the differences between derived and effect runes in Svelte 5. Might actually use it though cause I definitely haven't been drinking enough water.

This week I want to dive into two important Svelte 5 runes. $derived - use to compute values from other reactive values $effect - listen to changes on reactive variables and perform an action when a change occurs. Going to create and share a ton of examples with each one to learn.

Claude, ChatGPT, Deepseek they have one thing in common. Tech bias. Most libraries that aren't React or Next.js don't really have a chance because AI just doesn't have enough code to learn on.

The amount of remote work red flags in this post. If you're company needs to put spyware on your personal computer to take a photo of your face every 7min, run for the fucking hills. I'd rather work at McDonalds then allow this.

The most important aspect of remote (async) work is trust as long as there is trust both ways it's easy.

Got tired of manually creating our podcast embeds for different blog platforms. Made a quick little sveltekit app that pulls in the 5 latest HTML All The Things podcast episodes from spotify and creates the embeds for them from their ids. It's ugly but it works.

One thing I've come to realize is that the placebo effect is very real. If someone believes in something it's very possible it could help them. So if you want to use Next.js over SvelteKit be my guest.

Do I have any QA engineers here looking for work? We're looking to hire someone with experience writing end to end tests for sveltekit (or other meta frameworks) and dealing with CI/CD testing amount other things! DM me for more details! (Fully remote + competitive pay)

I think developers overuse async/await way to much. Promises can sometimes provide way better performance and have better ways of handling different states (errors, pending, rejected, etc).

Mike | HTML All The Things Podcast @mikek.me · 15/01/2025

Pretty clear that the current number 1 goal of all AI platforms is to replace developers as quickly as possible. Regardless if they are fully able to or not in the short term, you need to take this threat seriously.

Zucc just nonchalantly announcing future layoffs due to advancements in AI. Feel like there's probably more humane ways to do this transition.

My number 1 reason for using TypeScript is the actually trustable autocomplete it offers. The rest of the features are a bonus. I wrote down some more of my thoughts on TypeScript in my first blog of 2025! www.htmlallthethings.com/blog-posts/w...

Knowing the difference between client and server has become harder and harder over the years due to the popularity of meta frameworks like next.js, sveltekit, nuxt.js, etc. JavaScript runs on both client and server so we can't even use language as the boundary. ...

My biggest challenge as a head of engineering is split responsibilities. Going from coding to managing and back to coding is a difficult context switch. What helps a ton is time boxing and having separate days for management tasks and coding.

I don't know how many times I have to say this but developer != IT I can't solve your active directory issues, I can't fix your printer and I definitely can't help you setup your new crappy laptop that you bought against my recommendation cause the others were to expensive.

Even with AI I'd still recommend learning how to read docs. If you rely to much on AI when it comes to learning new tech it might bite you in the ass. It's now always up to date on new features and patterns of whatever tech you're trying to use.

Interactive styling refers to CSS stepping up to take on the role of JavaScript. Years ago CSS was primarily used for setting up layouts in a static way. If you needed any sort of interactivity in your design you'd have to leverage JavaScript. 🧵👇

Does AI have tech bias? When creating a new project on something like bolt I tried asking it to create it in both next.js and sveltekit. I noticed that it was able to conform to next.js standards a lot easier then sveltekit.

How do you all do your admin db scripts? I've been rawdogging SQL but transitioned to a basic UI which allows me to write them in rawSQL or prisma queries with my tRPC procedures. It feels safer and allows me to share and keep them organized easily.
