Agreed, lots of chaos though also lots of fun. Some of these even have 30HP and then an attack that does 30 damage to itself.

Thanks for that! It was down for a bit and is back up now.

Hey Lee, just listened to your chat with swyx the other day. It was great hearing how Vercel positions itself and your thoughts on devrel!
I know Vercel has a great developer relations team already— what would the appetite be for more Svelte DevRels in future? I've been working as a developer advocate and love Svelte enough to have even given talks on it. Would be an opportunity I could see myself in for years :)
ronvoluted | 4 years ago | on: What software engineers should know about search (2017)
I won't repeat what others have said about advances in natural language processing since 2017, but it's true that it's a solved problem if your problem isn't "perfect search" but a more realistic "excellent search".
> Use existing technologies first: As in most engineering problems, don’t reinvent the wheel yourself. When possible, use existing services or open source tools. If an existing SaaS (such as Algolia or managed Elasticsearch) fits your constraints and you can afford to pay for it, use it.
I work at an AI search company (Relevance AI) and even we see that InstantSearch.js is all some people need in terms of UI. We created a version of it that uses our NLP-backend but is still the same Algolia components on the frontend: https://www.npmjs.com/package/@relevanceai/instant-relevance
The reason was because those components work. Think these days you'd need to ask a lot of questions before completely rolling your own UI or NLP handling.

My favourite stat is that usage essentially doubled since 2019. Hearing that developers want to try Svelte is fairly common now but adoption is what drives an ecosystem of plugins/libraries, educational content and jobs.

Funding is about $30,000 a year: https://opencollective.com/svelte#category-BUDGET

Tailor - Chrome Extension that give you direct access to style DevTools with your own fully custom vanilla CSS.

When I say fully custom, I mean it: https://twitter.com/ronvoluted/status/1344629519638937602
The idea came from the fact that when you zoom into DevTools, the entire thing gets enlarged including Panel tabs, setting icons, etc. It would be great if you could just zoom the source code under Elements or the input under Console. Well now you can!
It's obviously out there for people to use already but it's half-baked because I want to improve the UI+UX, and I suppose this counts as DX too haha.
