I got stuck at ”after invoking the spirit of their dead chief, they later annotated me the king of their village”. What kind of interviewer doesn’t ask a follow-up question on that anecdote?

I’ve been using Svelte for several years, but haven’t had much time to dive into the many changes in 5. Maybe someone here can shed light on something about runes that feels very off to me. The rune is on the wrong side of the equal sign? L
