@__AlexMonahan__ It did, but they (logistics company, my client) had been asked to provide a subcontracted service for one of their clients, and so they duplicated the database - so two copies side by side. I was called in when they were asked to provide the same for a second client.

@accuser Oof! Sounds tough to debug... But i bet it worked!

What is the craziest thing you've built or seen in SQL? Mine is probably the single select statement with 22 joins... I've also written SQL that writes dynamic SQL to do pivoting, which is also pretty gnarly.

@hamiltonulmer @SvelteSociety @sveltejs @lihautan Awesome - higher-order stores are incredibly enabling for developers, and the community will only benefit from@your contribution. Do it! 👍🏼

@accuser @SvelteSociety @sveltejs @lihautan very nice :) just last night I had the idea of packaging up some of the higher-order stores we use in production. Ours focus on temporal operations useful for dataviz: previous state, delayed state, transient state

I’ve been using higher-order stores in some of my @sveltejs projects (thanks @lihautan) and wrapped them up in a package to share. More to come: github.com/accuser/svelte…

@shashiwhocodes How are you going to sell me on why I would want to be hired by you? 🤔

Let's say I was hiring for a Frontend Engineer. How are you going to sell me on why I should hire you?

@dan_abramov The Frontlines Series, by @marko_kloos. Just finished the 8th book in the series, and none of them were a disappointment.

Oh no! One of my single page static websites has been hacked. 😂

Just realised why the default #SvelteKit dev port is 5173 and it has left me suitably amused. Well played @vite_js, well played.

@SvelteSociety It took a little while to make the mental shift, but I absolutely love it right now. I’ve ported an older project to the new routing this weekend, and it feels so much better. There are some DX improvements needed - generated type syncing - but that’ll come. 👏

Opinions on the new sveltekit routing system from people who have been trying it out?

@kevmodrome Come to Cornwall, and I’ll give a hand with the organisation. 😏

Svelte Summit 2023 - where do we host it? We need places that have good direct flights to as many places as possible!

@seldo Decided not to pay for Copilot when the trial ended, I think I’m actually more productive because I’m no longer having to parse Copilot’s suggestions before accepting/rejecting them.

"We gave developers a toy task at which copilot excels and people who used copilot were much faster at it" is not proving anything either way.

@jamesqquick @hhthacker What if your project *is* the distraction? 😏

@hhthacker Love this! Removing distractions is huge and being able to prioritize pieces of work. Most of the time I get overwhelmed from lack of prioritization. Once I have priorities, it's easier for me to lock in and get stuff done.

as a developer, what enables you to go faster?

@georgeocrawford @antony This. Sentencing is simple to add, yet incredibly effective in helping understand what the test is actually doing.

@antony We tend to start our context() blocks with “when…”, which makes a nice pairing with it() blocks starting with “should…”. The test logs then read: “Component: when the order is valid it should display a success message.”

@coolgadgetru @sanity_io Because groq rocks.

@sanity_io Why not GraphQL? 🙂

SvelteKit now has an accessibility section in the docs! It covers: - how SK handles route announcements and focus management - setting the `lang` attribute - a list of additional resources Thanks to @a11yMel and @accuser for their feedback on the content kit.svelte.dev/docs/accessibi…

@skamille They probably don’t have clear objectives, and certainly aren’t measuring the appropriate key results.Activity is also easier to measure than impact, so there is that too.

@jaredcwhite @tailwindcss @sveltejs A simple example using vanilla @tailwindcss configuration, but I’ve done the same with custom themes.

@accuser @tailwindcss @sveltejs Oh? Do tell!

I’m putting my money where my mouth is (so to speak). I’m building a tool to convert Tailwind utility class HTML soup to 100% vanilla HTML + CSS with design token variables. Output looks virtually identical. Copypasta from your favorite TW UI library, click a button, and boom!

If you live in London and are the parent or carer of a child aged 1 to 9, please bring them in for their polio vaccine. There have been no cases of polio so please don’t worry. An extra dose of the polio vaccine can keep our little ones safe & keep polio firmly in the past

@Apple can you make the #iPhone increase the font size if I unlock my iPhone without my #glasses on? That would be an awesome feature.
