   When possible, I give three numbers. A best case scenario, the nominal scenario and the worse case scenario. Software Development is full of hidden pitfalls and I've found this can keep development and management teams both on the same

    In my experience, I've found Galaxy not only to be expensive, but also lacking in support and stability. One way around this is to host your own Meteor applications on a VPS using a program like mup[0] [0]: https://github.co

    Late to the party here, but could you comment on your experience with Meteor-Vue? I just ported an app from Viewmodel back to traditional blaze, but really want to rebuild the frontend in Vue for performance. What do you use for forms and o

    I think overall this release might lead some to believe that Apple is spending less time on QA. For instance, bugs that are much easier to run into, like the calculator bug[0] still somehow made it into production [0]: https://ne
