@argyleink Small UX improvements like this make me so happy. Hope @firefox gets this too

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

@brianmmdev I think it depends on your start state energy. If low then we start small by knocking out small tasks to create momentum. If high, then tackle the largest task first so your mind is at ease

@sveltejs I feel silly only realizing this about Svelte today.

Bonus discovery: expression interpolation is the only way to do this, whereas $derived can't

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

My new noob @sveltejs discovery: You might NOT need $derived!

For simple expressions, put it straight into your markup. They're still reactive!

$derived is useful for reactive **variable** w/ a complex expression and/or to be re-used many times. But otherwise, I prefer simple

@DrizzleORM Or further refine for more sophisticated schemas w/ drizzle-seed's included generators, or even your own implementation

drizzle-seed has:
- valuesFromArray
- int
- firstName/lastName/fullName
- phoneNumber
- country
- jobTitle
- companyName

and more at https://t.co/By2NvT5Dk4

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

More reason to love @DrizzleORM for me:🆕 "drizzle-seed" just dropped last week 🌱

- Just pass in your schema
- Intelligent default generators
- Ability to further refine generation
- Seed relationships too
- Utility to reset whole table

drizzle-seed now on Drizzle 0.36.4!

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

@DrizzleORM drizzle-seed comes w/ some sane default generators based on your column type and names. Examples:
- col type includes "date" → GenerateDate
- string col with "name" in name → GenerateFirstName
- "email" → GenerateEmail

@D_raverezld @housecor That's correct. These Remix loaders are merging into React Router so that RR users can also enjoy SSR data loading benefits if want to.

React Router 7 is now basically the new Remix.

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

@vlucas @housecor IME with functions you have more flexibility. You decide if you want to split or not (and if you want to, it's not hard) as opposed to being forced to.

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

@devagrawal09 @joyofcodedev @housecor I learned directly from him. Love his problem/solution tweets

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

The "writable derived" is an incredible Svelte trick I just learned from @joyofcodedev

🚩 Problem: 2-way sync btw two states, but can't use "$derived" because it's 1-way readonly
→ ✅Use an object with get/set

Here, typing activate checking, and unchecking also reset email

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

@joyofcodedev Unsure if this's recommended or not - I can't find anything about this in Svelte doc (maybe I don't know the right keyword) - but it feels so elegant!

This probably equals setting up some "$effect", but coming from React, I was taught that I should minimize effect usage

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

TIL: A <button> element inside a <label> element will not work, as the button captures the click for itself and doesn't pass it to the label at all.

Greedy buttons.

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

@tdesseyn Fresca is pretty good

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

@hawkinsw @UC_IEEE This is so cutee

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

Today I converted another person to the no-barrel-files team. Feels great.

TIL: the server is an incremental static site regenerator

[Bao Huynh @bhuynhdev]

@devagrawal09 I think I read on Reddit the other day about someone having thousands of users on the Free tier of their side project, so they quit job and start trying to monetize, then the number of users just drop 10 times
