Also opinionated “best practices” in the Meteor 3
landscape. I feel like there is a huge gulf between the current norm and the prior norm(s). Feels “wild west” a bit more than necessary. Maybe a step before “black diamond” that is not “bunny slopes” but more like a play-through by a pro.
I feel like the “Skier
versus Snowboarder
” dichotomy/rivalry is alive and well but now we call it React
versus Vue.js
or the like. I would watch either side but just know there is no way I am switching teams. Underneath though, I should be Team Meteor
under that and feel confident of that part, while challenging but not chiding another sect… but not doubting any common ground.
“Sane” and “coherent” would be great at this stage. Running into Meteor
now, it feels like 1-2 vs. 3 might as well be named something else it feels like ( not suggesting that ) to just be sure we are not thinking in old terms. Even if there is not a legitimate reason to feel like that, there is so much fog new comers cannot be sure of North. Maybe it’s what we call “West” now, if you watched all the steps and know all the insider jargon and concepts. I have used examples from documentation, many times, and gotten a ( courteous ) reaction like I must be from the dark ages when asking why I did it like that… does not build to self-trust in a new environment very fast. And then there are multiple oceans of packages, not just eras of packages but literally different package sources and behaviors of how they fit into the system… one feels party to roulette.
I know there is a bikeshed here when it comes to opinions, but if someone wants to declare “I am a Vue.js
advocate” or other, and then let it be, and have others do the same things in their lineage of opinion, great!
A lot of concepts and conventions would translate, and some overlap, for example with WebApp
practices not being much different I imagine. And right there in the overlap, I feel like Meteor
itself would show through.
I find myself write sugar and abstracting more than usual, purely to skirt areas which feel uncertain, so that later I can make a fundamental change because I will inevitably be wrong, or learn to hate the current way.
Can only have a proper snowball fight/war between friends if not on our asses. If we have confidence of “ride down mountain” ( without Sunny Bono
experience ) and have that shown both in Snowboard
and Ski
varieties and pronounce that difference, and cover the same ground different ways until we feel bored rather than confused, I would be very glad.
