Yeah, Svelte is pure gold.

@dang, second reply and apologies, now I know what you mean, I edited some part away which you probably meant and which is still in quotes of others' comments. Sorry, I'll try to i…

> In no world would taking VC funding have been easier. Did I say that? Or that Rich should have taken the easier path? No, everyone should always take the harder path. But this is…

Can't follow you, what do you mean/where did I cross into personal attacks? I highly appreciate Rich but the elephant in the room had to be addressed, especially on HN. I wonder th…

Good point and I agree about Rich but I rather trust healthy markets and competition more than people.

Rich, I know where you come from, and I wholeheartedly believe what you say. But this is just the start of a relationship between you and Vercel. And you know that relationships wi…

> won't be joining any existing company Good news and the most underrated and overseen comment in this thread. Nice man!

Am I the only one? Next just bought its biggest upcoming competitor—SvelteKit. Next is the best that React has to offer but it still has flaws. Svelte and SvelteKit are so awesome …

The left out porkbun's mail service for $24.00/year, still more expensive than their solution but not much.

Agreed. It took me half a day and I came not remotely to the UX and performance of coc.vim. Most incl. the nvim team are not aware that eg. tsserver is the fastest and most respons…

So many memories. From a time far away. Before I got my first Macbook. When computer were honest. When the underlying OS was ugly and nobody cared if apps used their own style.

Do Surface Laptops have a healthy battery charging feature? E.g., does charging stop at a specific threshold like 60% with Lenovos?

A type system can do way more than the simple things from your first code block. This is misleading in terms of what a powerful type systems can do. Re your second code block: This…
