I've been working remotely for over 20 years. ProTip: working remote does not mean working from home. Surround yourself everyday with the people you want. Go to coworking spaces, coffee shops, parks. Find fellow remote workers and host coworking sessions and your places.

CropSwapLA is in my neighborhood, they do amazing work! Just the fact that a single residential property can grow enough produce for 45 families _each week_ is astonishing. Their technology in their latest farm (https://www.cropswapla.org/degnan) is very special as well: they refer to it as terraponic. 100% recycled water, but also using some soil for temperature and moisture control. Best of both worlds between traditional farming and 100% controlled aquaponics farms. The growing boxes are entirely separated from the ground, which limits pests and maintenance. Nutrition is provided through the water, with exactly the right balance that the respective plants need.

Yes, I'm biased, I'm a big fan. Just wanted to share some highlights because I think the article doesn't do the amazing work of Jamiah and his team justice. I hope we get to see many more such micro farms all across Los Angeles and Southern California.

I drive an EV for over a year, I barely use the break any more. Single pedal driving is wonderful

My kids are into superheros. We explained how vaccines are basically super powers! Now they are sad when they go to the doctor and don’t get one they also get all their friends and class mates pumped about vaccines which I take as a win

I wouldn’t overthink it, it’s just a metaphor :)

I also don’t think that GraphQL will replace REST, the two work great side-by-side

As a primarily front-end developer, this is a gift from heaven. I'm part of team Hoodie so I'm biased of course, but I'll add this to all my existing and future projects now <3

Our goal is to lower the barrier of entry to build fully capable applications. While using the simple email plugin is not a good idea in a production app, there is no problem to use it with an app that runs on your computer only, or in your companie's intranet.

I know this is nightmare to system architects / backend developers at first sight, but trust us, we know exactly what we are doing. We have excellent architects on our team, you just might not be our primary target group here.

But thanks for your feedback, much appreciated!

Hoodie doesn't provide any email privileges in it's core. There is an email plugin that does that, but it's just a showcase and we would not recommend to use that in a production app. The plugin is maybe 10 lines of code, you can easily use that as base and put all the security in it that you would do in a REST API as well.

I'd be also very interested in your basic use cases that you think Hoodie couldn't handle. It would certainly be great input for the project.

Besides the points already mentioned, Meteor is VC backed. Hoodie is an open source project first, that we founded & bootstrapped a company for to sustain its future, and that we will eventually turn into a non-profit. We are and will be not accountable to any investor with questionable interests in an open source project.

I'm more the frontend guy at Hoodie, but what you'll be able to do is to allocate roles to users and based on the roles you can give read/write access down to document level.

If you have a specific scenario in mind, I'm happy to elaborate.
