petecoop | 6 years ago | on: Tiny Acquires Meteor

Very much agree with you on this. I picked up a live Meteor app that felt very much like it had been built as a prototype that had been built upon into a production app. It was a mess, it had clearly evolved over time and over multiple Meteor releases, there was no obvious structure at all - just felt like a bunch of files that were all loaded into some soup that became the app.

I don't think Meteor ever had decent docs on going from the prototype stage to a fully fledged application and how you'd evolve the structure over the time.

I could name a lot of problems I've had with Meteor, and I definitely agree with having a proper evaluation of tech before using it - knowing the limits of the stack you choose and if it's going to lock you in in the long term.

It's felt like a framework that hasn't been given time needed recently to keep it up to date, improving docs etc as MDG have shifted their focus on Apollo.

Hiring/skillset of the existing team, existing legacy codebases that need to be worked on, simplicity... things aren't as black and white of you must use this technology over another, there are a lot of reasons involved

Hey, I didn't write the article but work with John... we deploy through a CI/CD pipeline using Concourse CI. Which builds the docker containers and eventually deploys them onto a Rancher cluster

I get different results on this too but to the same effect. At least macOS still gives you all options underneath whereas Windows 10 will just not show you anything sometimes

This looks great, I've worked with teams that have their code on GitHub and don't want to move but would benefit from using GitLab for CI/CD.

petecoop | 9 years ago | on: Tips and tricks in using Webpack

Have you tried using watchify [1] to speed up your builds in development? I've also been using browserify-hmr [2] which is working nicely for hot module replacement and found it easier to setup than Webpack's hmr.

I think one of Webpack's benefits is that this stuff is all bundled with it, so everyone's using it but with browserify you need to go out and find these solutions yourself

I'm using thinky too, I think it works fairly well but is a bit more lightweight to e.g. mongoose for MongoDB.

I'm not using any real-time features yet which makes me a bit sad, but have been using it before real-time was their focus.

I'm the maintainer of the yeoman express generator, glad you like it!

I also introduced Slack to the team, and now we're not going back!
