Say I have a SvelteKit in which most pages can be prerendered and this requires data from the DB. Some pages require the DB live. Now what happens during a deployment? I need to update the DB (if migrations were added) and then update the web application and push the new code. However, since... 1/2

Any ideas how to prerender a list of dynamic routes in SvelteKit whose slugs are saved in the database? In config.kit.prerender I can list them, but currently it's hard coded. Not sure if it's good to query the database for the build step? I could have a secret page with links to all these routes...

I tried out a new web framework (I won't mention its name). Every time that happens, I immediately compare it to SvelteKit and come to the conclusion that it's much worse. DX, speed, structure... Nothing beats #svelte. Only downside is that my projects have the same structure and don't vary much.

I have recently switched to creating my video thumbnails with HTML and CSS. This is the most recent one. This approach has several advantages over using a graphics program (version control, unified design, repeated patterns, easy to update). Repo: github.com/ScriptRaccoo...

It was time to migrate a SQLite database to a Postgres database. The setup took some time, and I needed to change the implementation of my wrapper query function. But most of the application code did not need to be touched, basically because the *interface* of my query function did not change. 🦝

If you think you don't make any progress, just look at the code you wrote one year ago. You will likely immediately see lots of things that can be improved. This is what you learned in the meantime.

I find it quite surprising that 70% of the visitors of my website are using light mode, only 30% are using dark mode (this is one of the dimensions I have recently added to my analytics). I would have expected 90% dark mode, because I was under the impression that developers are nerdy night owls 🦉

Try to create a GitHub account today (with email + password). 😮‍💨 While I understand that GitHub needs to check that I am a human being: why do I need to make 10 tests? Also, why did they choose such low-res images? Sometimes the solution was not clear at all. The audio tests also take too long.

Am I the only one who always removes all URL parameters when sharing a link (especially from social media) with other people? I don't want to support the tracking of myself or others. It always takes a bit of time (hitting backspace backspace backspace...), but it's worth it.

I completely agree with Brad here. When AI writes all the code for you, it feels like there is a lack of ownership. And it less fun. This is why personally I restrict my use of AI. I ask questions, that's it. I am still actually writing 99% of the code. And I love it. youtu.be/UaB0gWFwuEU
