  • Favors others platforms

    Apple podcast platform is often neglected. Was a premium supporter but Spotify gets episodes first and what appears on this platform is the free version of episodes even if you paid for premium.

    Very disappointing and will be the last time I pay for a membership.

  • DHH? Gross.

    Pretty bummed y’all had DHH on the show. Dude has done so much harm through racist policies at Basecamp and a general sneering attitude to anybody who doesn’t look/act like a white dude. Pass.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Alem Tuzlak - Tanstack Dev Tools and Tanstack AI
Q: What exactly is Tanstack AI, and how does it fit with other tooling like adapters and providers?
Tanstack AI is a middleware-like layer that sits between your AI providers and your application, enabling you to build agent-like experiences with provider adapters for chat, image, video, transcription, and more. It emphasizes type safety, has multiple adapters per function, and uses a modular architecture to avoid vendor lock-in while allowing easy experimentation with providers like OpenAI, Entropic, Grok, and OpenRouter.
Alem Tuzlak - Tanstack Dev Tools and Tanstack AI
Q: So, you are the creator of the Tanstack DevTools? Is that what you're working on? And working on Tanstack AI, we're really excited to chat about that.
Yes, I'm Alem Tuzlak, the creator of Tanstack DevTools and co-creator of Tanstack AI. I've been involved in building devtools and open-source tooling, and I joined Tanstack as a maintainer recently to help push both the DevTools and AI efforts forward, including integrating devtools with Remix and React Router DevTools.
Paolo Ricciuti - Svelte, TMCP
Q: What makes TMCP a good alternative to the official MCP SDK, and how does it balance simplicity and capability?
TMCP aims to be lighter and more predictable, offering a consistent API shape across server and resource constructs, while keeping transport modular so you don't incur unnecessary dependencies; it's designed to be practical and extensible for real-world MCP server needs.
Paolo Ricciuti - Svelte, TMCP
Q: Can you explain the rationale and security considerations behind remote functions in SvelteKit?
Remote functions provide a server-side function that can be invoked from the client via RPC-like calls. Security is addressed by using standard schemas and domain-based restrictions to prevent unauthorized cross-origin access, with experimental status to gather feedback and iterate safety measures before broader release.
Paolo Ricciuti - Svelte, TMCP
Q: What was the main motivator for introducing async/await in Svelte, and how has it changed the way data is loaded?
The primary motivation was to enable direct awaits inside components, allowing data loading patterns to be expressed more naturally within the component while leveraging the compiler to optimize and manage reactivity; it also led to an experimental phase to gather feedback and refine the API before stabilization.
