Right??? I started out the process trying to stick with yarn and upgrade it to use plug and play for better CI caching, but svelte apparently just does not work with it and will not do so, so I started looking into pnpm.

Meanwhile, I had to do some backend thing yesterday, and ended up using the LD_LIBRARY_PATH trick, which was introduced in 1988.

I'm grateful that LLMs are great at writing frontend code for me, though the broader implications are a bit scary.

But can a LLM help writing code for a library released or updated a few months ago, covering the implied breaking changes? With the way they work today, probably not.
