Never trust AI. Just because it should do the thing you ask, doesn't mean it won't go off the rails. Check and balances, trust but verify. Or don't trust at all and put restraints in place.

Wow, what a crazy read. I'm not sure how any of us stand a chance in running a secure network in this new age. Only a matter of time until models can find the zero day exploits themselves and fast...

Author here. The biggest gap I hit after removing MCPs was APIs without CLIs. GitHub has gh, AWS has aws, but most SaaS APIs have nothing. That's why I'm building CommandSpec. The tool takes any OpenAPI spec and generates a typed

I suspect that we didn't get enough Ember responders, because I do think they have a reasonable sized community. 9k responses is likely not enough to draw a reasonable conclusion that it isn't popular. I wish we could have paired

What did ES5 change to then? I never heard. Honestly, ES2015 just seems odd to me.

9k responses certainly weren't from SV alone. I know alot of the Spacedojo Slack channel took the survey and I think like 2 out of 300 live in SV. Would be fun to maybe turn ip addresses into lat/long and map out where the respons

Personally I prefer this type of content because I can set it to 2x and speed through and pick up the things I need to know. Some of us don't have the luxury of mainlining r/javascript all day long.

Offline support is tricky because each app needs to implement what happens in the case of data conflict. Meteor already has the groundDB package that allows for offline support in local storage. I would imagine you could implement a read on

Well said! I actually think the community has done a ton of work on Electron and we will see the desktop option soon too. This announcement is exciting on many levels and I think some of the unspoken bits will be interesting later too. I he

Just listened to the first few minutes. Sashko needs a better mic for sure. Enjoying so far.

I think when you look at the companies using React now, you start to understand why it is gaining ground quickly. Couple that with the fact that Facebook has dumped a lot of efforting into the tooling around it, it makes sense to me.

Not having to spend money on Blaze will make them more competitive as a hosting business. Frankly, when is the last time you saw a billion dollar unicorn hosting business? Or a hosting IPO? I doubt we will see SQL support. We will likely se

Why would the post be business focused? The guy that wrote it doesn't run "Meteor the business", he just loves the framework itself. I am not even sure how a CMS got mentioned and compared here.

You can easily use things like Heroku and Modulus to host your site. I think perhaps you are misinformed about your options and should read up a bit more. I use Digital Ocean with MUP and it works great with minimal efforts.

Jeez, I should have totally mentioned how to use Chrome to see the DDP data. You don't really need a separate package for it.

Thanks. Yeah, always one of those 'wow' moments during my Mastering Meteor class :)

It is a neat feature. I also hear that it will persist changes from node-inspector web interface back to your code itself... I didn't mention in the article as I didn't have time to confirm it myself. Yeah, I am thinking of adding

Thanks. I was on the fence about listing testing as another form of debugging. Didn't feel right, but maybe I will write a separate article on that at some point.

I guess money and a degree from MIT makes the code look/smell better?

Spoken like a true person who spent an hour investigating the platform and then moved on. All of the issues you've pointed out are solved using third-party packaging.
