My contract with a German client will soon end. One of the most impactful and interesting jobs i've had. He's betting on genai, to be able to compete with other agencies who now do the majority of the work with it. i don't blame my client. But i'm sure getting too tired of this tech industry...

Writing markdown can sometimes be tedious. Over the years i've written some remark plugins to help better focus on writing and less on maintenance. Together with SvelteKit, I can finally sleep at night knowing my markdown will be okay. vnphanquang.com/blog/remark-... #markdown #unified #remark

Yeah. I doubt it though. It's not easy to gain consensus on what markdown parser to use and how plugins may look like.

As raining season approaches where I am at. I wonder, this year, what flash floods will bring along their paths, what power plants will be built. When will it be my turn to go?

If g*e*n*a*i is so good and cost saving and democratising why does subscription fee keep going up? Not a single service has lower their cost.

I used to think everyone should just get onboard with English, because everything is in EN; it'd make things easier in the long term anyway. But now, I have known better. I18N isn't about being fixated in one's own language, it's about accessibility.

I'm honestly surprised by the fact that no VI translation was proposed yet, while ~30 langs are now available. Considering Vietnam is one of the popular destination for offshore software development, this may say something about how little open source is talked about here. npmx.dev/translation-...

A quick post describing some custom text objects in Neovim for Svelte that I've been using to make it easier to select the template blocks (if, each, snippet, ...). Hope this is helpful. Anyone out there still typing code in 2026? www.sveltevietnam.dev/en/blog/2026...

`tick` is generally not available in e2e test execution environment. But if even it is, `tick` is Svelte-specific and can only be used after hydration, which defeats the purpose of awaiting for hydration.

Will do, thanks for the reminder Kev

Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know there is an existing pattern in the SvelteKit test suite. Will take a look and amend some references to the post. Fixture sounds like a good idea too.

I wonder what had been wrong with us until we needed "cognitive amplifier". I personally have always been in awe with human and our ability to make art / do science. You use SlopAI all you want. All I am asking is leave place in the world for those who don't want to. Please and thank you.

Sorry to hear what you have to deal with. Building AI to fight against AI is a dangerous route I personally think. It gives AI companies more excuse to keep pumping in more resources. But at this point I don't even know what the alternative may be. I feel much distress, more everyday.

Am I making an insignificant correlation? I don't know. Do I think energy management takes an active role in instances like this, yes. Do I think it will get worse if we need to build more energy plants, regardless of being hydropower, fossil fuel, geothermal, etc? 100%.

quang 🍉🍊 @vnphanquang.com · 20/11/2025

Please think twice before prompting! Right this moment, my hometown is experiencing historical extreme flooding. Hydroplants are still releasing water at record level. Meanwhile, billion of dollars of AI data center investments is coming in waves, demanding more and more energy. Your actions matter!

I don't mind outage / service / server going down (Cloudflare this time). But when it keeps happening, one company after another. Something else is going on...

I believe small models are indeed more productive. Would love to see more embedded models that run locally and offline. Centralized coding agents are probably what I despise.

Reasons I refuse to use L_L_M: is not deterministic (enough), often includes closed source data & biases, steals creative work from independent creators, is energy hungry and likely to cause energy crisis, esp. in the global south. Am I wrong? And If I become obsolete in this industry, so be it!

Yeah effect will rerun if there's references to signal, so people starts wrapping code in `untrack`, which is what onMount is for: an untracked run-once-on-client component lifecycle hook.

Also. I would add Svelte attachment to the list. Arguably a better heuristics than action in a lot of common scenarios. svelte.dev/docs/svelte/...

Good work 👏. Just a note: I don't think onMount & onDestroy are legacy yet nor should they be replaced with $effect, although there's an ongoing debate / discussion about it. In fact, the general consensus from the Svelte people I follow is that $effect should only be the last resort.

quang 🍉🍊 @vnphanquang.com · 14/11/2025

Not sure if it's related, but I've experienced some issues with preloading (data-sveltekit-preload-data) while having remote function turned on. So if u have that perhaps try turning off preloading just to help narrow the root cause.

I understand that part for data collection but they literally say it in the blog post: "In essence, we are using AI to destroy AI slop." Nothing against that btw, just a bit tired from all this haha.
