Meteor is good for what it already has. If you are a manager or someone who doesn't know how to code & wants to code for the 1st time then use Meteor.

Its very simple to use but bare in mind that it depends on the community packages. If you use any other framework like React on Frontend & Node on Backend then you get variety of options. I mean like 1000 different packages. You can choose your Node server like Koa, Hapi, Micro, etc..... If you want to use Express, you can use it. And there are many different alternatives to Express. With Meteor, you are limited.

Like for Node, there is NPM. For Meteor, there is Atmosphere but again most people stop maintaining stuff. And sometimes the community doesn't have packages.

So if you're not making something custom & want to make a fast MVP then you can use Meteor otherwise don't. Like if I'm making a Chat app, then with Meteor's PubSub model it will be easy & fast but I can also make it with Socket.io but it will need a lot more configuration.

But if its something complex & unique then I won't choose it because Meteor packages are different from NPM packages.

Nice answer to the point. How can I forget, software requirements are never ending. But working on something for too long bores me personally. I guess I have to get used to it. I can limit features. That would be my one-off SAAS. But do people use a software/app which isn't updated for 2 years or more?

Yep but this is for later. Right now its software. Also, books & courses take a lot of time bcz I don't know how to do it. I'm gonna totally copy Wes Bos for courses 😂 if I ever do it in future (maybe 1 year later or not)

I think Spectrum is trying to solve the problem what you have

TinyLetter or github.com/dwyl/learn-to-send…

Best place is FreeCodeCamp & its free. They start with basics & has a forum to ask questions too & all are willing to help you learn code.

Other than that you can checkout Scrimba's HTML Course. It also has CSS courses.

Egghead has fast pace videos which are not recommended for beginners. It assumes a lot of things. I wouldn't recommend it unless you know a little about programming.

Getting a job at Big 5 is also a lot of work. I remember I worked for Google CodeJam learning a lot of DataStructures & Algorithms & all those things in CS. But despite all that work, I came in last in all world rankings, LOL 😂

I was pretty bad I admit but I worked 2 months for it & other people worked every year to pass in the CodeJam. The people who make it must've already worked 2 years on learning just DS & AOA & they get paid not as much as you'd like.

Launching 5 different business will make me more money than joining a big firm.

Also, the entry point is too hard. Sometimes inverting a binary tree is not at all related to work they do at Google & they still ask those stupid questions.

In short, I'd like to be my own boss even if it takes too long. Bill Gates had to put 5 years to make Microsoft work & many more years before that. So, I think it's worth a shot. We only get one life 😉

Life is Short

Is the free plan sufficient for Screenhunt?

Mainly About SVGs. How if you use Inline SVGs instead of Images can drastically reduce Page Load Speed. Sarah Drasner gave 2 talks. Watch that they are awesome. Here's is Link 1 & Link 2. Check Best Practices Guide Containing 50+ SEO, Speed and Security Rules & choose topics from that. I would recommend to check the PracticalDevAccount on Twitter as it shows effective tweets. Definitely not related to your topic but see the patterns.
