Getting Passport to work nicely with GraphQL shows some rough edges in Passport. Node could use some more innovation on the auth side

It took many years, but I finally came across my first legitimate use of _.zip. https://lodash.com/docs/4.17.4#zip 

Webpack 2 replaces 'loaders' with the 'rule' system. Will libs like 'babel-loader' get renamed to 'babel-rule'? https://webpack.js.org/configuration/module …

Recorded 35 videos then realized audio wasn't being recorded. Ouch.

I really wanted to like the MBP 2016, but the keyboard is just...eehhhh. Going back to the mbp 2015.

Hey, @ste_grider and @andrew_j_mead, your courses helped me get my first app in the stores today - thank you! http://www.freshlybakedcode.co.uk/mugshot 

Area for improvement in redux. Maybe register types and add a middleware to fuzzy match against registered types to validate? (3/3)

Ironic that we declare types as constants in a single location to solve mismatched strings (2/3)

70% of redux errors I troubleshoot on other's projects are related to bad 'type' import statements. (1/3)

I spend an hour a day installing others projects and troubleshooting them. #yarn's super fast installs make this so painless

Reason for this approach is that once you bring in express, focus moves away from mongo too easily. (3/2)

After getting mastery of mongoose concepts, move on to building a web app. Sound reasonable? (2/2)

Feedback request: new MongoDB course starts with mongoose + mocha. Get familiar with individual mongoose ops w/o worrying about server 1/2

Seemingly identical methods, too. findAndUpdate vs update vs updateOne vs findAndModify (3/3)

The wide class of operators are weird, likely unexpected for this coming from a SQL background (2/3)

What are the big learning hurdles of MongoDB? (1/3)

This isn't a complaint against Phoenix, more admiration and pride for engineers who sit down and master this content. (6/6)
