Really thankful today for @rich-harris.dev, @dummdidumm.bsky.social, and all of the rest of the @svelte.dev team. Four years ago, when I discovered Svelte and SvelteKit, I never could have known that working on them full time would be paying the bills.

These beautiful projects have changed my life for the better — through them, I not only learned web development, but software engineering as a whole. I really have Svelte to thank for my entire career at this point. Rich and Simon, and many of the other maintainers, have been the #1 influence…

…on my software engineering skills. I’m so excited for the next year working on the project. I get to learn from some of the best engineers I’ve ever met, and can’t wait to show you all that we’ve got planned. Cheers to the next year, everyone!
