How I Taught LLMs How to Svelte
It's undeniable that LLMs are slowly (and not even that much) but steadily changing the way we write code. But they have a problem: once you start using something outside of their training set, the performance quickly degrades.Releasing Svelte 5 (with a pretty big syntax rewrite) right before those LLMs started to get good at code was unfortunate, but luckily, there's a way around this! MCP servers can add context for the LLM and guide our future overlords on how to write perfect Svelte code.
