Stephane "Rainlife" Vanraes 🦄

Happy to have another talk at Svelte Summit this year 🎉 Personally think it is mostly for those of us trying to make games with Svelte because those often already heavily rely on Web Workers, but anything that is about processing large datasets (science, finance, ...) can benefit as well 🙂

What I am doing instead of working on any possible upcoming presentations 🙄 just having some fun with #css shapes codepen.io/svanraes/pen...

Teaser-ish for Svelte Summit (but mostly because I thought I should try writing a new blog post for a change) www.arzidava.com/articles/sve...

Dug up an ancient Svelte component I made years ago. Republished it because we need the web a bit more colourful stephane-vanraes.github.io/svelte-multi...

I like Svelte, I think it is a really great framework to build for the web. But there is one thing I absolutely HATE about it. 😡 And it absolutely ruined my life. 💔 And that is that it makes it impossible to not be frustrated when you are expected to work with something else in a project. 😭

Apparently I will babbling at Svelte Summit, guess I should work on making the pinkest slides ever

Anyone know when more speakers will be announced for Svelte Summit ? Eager to see what is coming

Svelte Summit Tickets Going live later today. Are you excited?! WE ARE!

when you don't have anything better to do so you start tinkering with some basic javascript. data generated in one thread and visualized in the other thread based on a shared memory block. no data passed around and no blocking of the main thread

I should try making a svelte themed tote next 🤔

boss person is back, time to suck up to her and get svelte summit paid for 😘

the finished product 🔥 a clear winner I have to say 🙄

an important part of learning something new is accepting you WILL fail at first. #firsttime #stitching #notafraidtofail

Hey hey! What's up folks? Look who's back on the blog track! (we still publish blogs right?) (got some work to do design wise, any comments welcome 😜) www.arzidava.com/articles/rel...

fun activiy of the day: browsing through an entire not very well written entangled mess of a python ui codebase tracking every call to the database to see how it is used because why would anyone include a db-scheme in their codebase ?

me at work: I am a very serious developer, approaching all tasks professionally also me at work: please come to my introduction to COBOL 🌸🌸

when you are kind of in between projects and start messaging your line manager: "Shall we circle back over that and have a quick sync in an offline base touch to ensure we have all our ducks in one line" (ready to go to linkedin afterwards)

TIL I might have been working for and invoicing the wrong customer for the past 3 months 🤦

Summer is the perfect time to look out at the rain, remember my name and think about the fun projects I can work on. Planning on restarting my blog, that I abandoned like 3 years ago. And started working on a series of short stories set in Bergen inspired by WoD (might dump then on a blog as well)

Yesterday I visited the Observatory in Belgium, celebrating it's 200th anniversary 🥳 a blast from the past to see the telescope I worked with for years ❤️ and kind of humbled they still use my now 15 year old software to capture and analyze images of the sun 🌞

First stop of the vacation, Belgium 🇧🇪🖤💛❤️🇧🇪

Spring is coming to Bergen 🩷

Today I was fondly remembering playing Planetarion (and similar) 20+ years ago and how impressed I was it would update the game for 10s of thousands of players every hour. When it suddenly dawned on me it doesn't actually do all those calculations within a few microseconds when the hour changes

After some struggling managed to get Svelte reactivity working in combination with SharedArrays and Atomics. Not optimal, but who knows, a first article for my blog if I ever get around writing again 😉

github stars (or equivalent marks of liking packages and repos) should expire after a year.

59 hours left! www.kickstarter.com/projects/dot...

My GF is binging "Younger" on Netflix and I have to explain to her so many of the references that she now suspects I am cheating on her with my younger coworkers 🤦‍♂️

Sewing machine workshop tonight, made a small bag for toiletries. Not bad for a first time, will definetely practice more ❤️

december means advent of code 🎄 this year, like every year, I will be using a language unknown to me beforehand because suffering is important (I guess) this year that falls on "Julia" ❤️ excited to see how it goes 😄

Having fun exploring workers, svelte (obviously) and some python sprinkled through my browser.

TIL gendered reindeer are not called 'reindoe' & 'reinstag' and not sure how I feel about that 😭💔

Brighton 🇬🇧

New job title just dropped on LinkedIn “Vibe code cleanup specialist”

Is it just me wiggling my mouse to find the cursor, 100% convinced you see it move somewhere in the bottom, spend another 5 minutes trying to find it, occasionally catching a glimpse of it from the corner of the eye. Just to discover it is not plugged in ?

After 2 years being stuck on a react project, I will start next month back fulltime with #svelte 🎉, we are all still using v3 right ? I don't have anything new to learn 🤔?

Had been struggling with a specific styling issues and @kevinpowell.co recent video on :has made it suddenly click. Using :has(:nth-child(2n):last-child) can be used to detect if a list has even or odd items 🎉

Pride Parade in Bergen Today 🦄

A new consulting challenge on the horizon: "devibing" or the horrifying task of cleaning up a vibe coded startup their mess.

using #svelte transitions? consider pure CSS where possible <div in:fly={{ x: -500 }}> Hello World </div> can be achieved with just some "modern css" .div { translate: 0; transition: translate 500ms; @starting-style { translate: -500px; } } smaller bundle and works without js

#sveltesummit was amazing as always, good talks, good mingling. thanks to @kevinak.se for organizing but also everyone attending ❤️❤️

Got to Barcelona 🇪🇸 from Bergen 🇧🇻, now have to wait 4 hours at the airport for my girlfriend who's coming from Reykjavik 🇮🇸 fml 🙄

off to barcelona for #sveltesummit ✈️

A quick experiment trying to use pure #css to fully hide an element as soon as it overflows from it's container using view-timeline. Just resize the window a bit to see the effect. Any improvements suggestions ? codepen.io/svanraes/pen...

Ready to give a Svelte workshop at work.

My Svelte T-Shirt has "shrunk" in the laundry. So I hope we get new ones at the upcoming Svelte Summit

Am I the only one annoyed by this ? Icons that are like not nicely aligned by the text around them 🤢
