Rich Harris on AI & Svelte: Hype vs Reality in Framework Development
Rich Harris shares his honest take on how AI has (and hasn't) changed his workflow building Svelte. From using AI as a code reviewer rather than a code generator, to setting up the official Svelte MCP server for better AI agent performance, he breaks down what actually works — and what doesn't. He also raises bigger-picture concerns: are companies underinvesting in junior developers? Are we handing too much autonomy to a handful of Silicon Valley AI providers? Harris makes the case for local models and a more democratized AI ecosystem.
