"Some of us dynamically generate this for various reasons. You can just copy the important script tags into your html but it still seems weird and invasive."

You can use the ng eject command to add the webpack configuration to your project root and it'll add and print a set of npm commands too.

OP wasn't using orchestration.

He wasn't using orchestration, but said Docker Swarm is terrible. How did he come to that conclusion.

For the record, orchestration in Docker (1.12.x) is actually quite good. Its built-in service discovery and mesh networking make setup a breeze.

I gave it a try a few weeks ago but every other package was unsupported because a new package was being developed rather than following semver, the standard server logging was terrible when I had to debug a frontend dev's memory issue. Seems like the Wordpress of realtime applications. The DDP package is interesting but only helpful to supported DB's as far as I could see. I think choosing GraphQL will just narrow their 'full stack ecosystem' again. Why not provide better low level support for your community to write GraphQL Cypher, SQL and NoSQL themselves. There are some great packages I've seen for this.

Can you elaborate?

Angular allows for a clear separation of concerns and it's easy to teach individuals standards (isolate dom manipulation, no global state if possible, clear techniques like promises and data binding). It's similar techniques, if not easier, than node.js. Should we assume node.js will fail because it's too difficult for the author?

Stress isn't good for your clients and your personal relationships. I've had a similar problem, I'm quite insistent on using my own equipment, my recent client said yes to get me move over 4hrs away from my home, then the security team said no once I setup my kit and put down a six months deposit on a flat. I insisted on new equipment or a pay raise for pay in lieu of my slower rate of experience and discomfort which effects my out of hours work. They bought me a new iMac and I'm now technical lead for a reputable sports product. I arrive at 7am and leave at 3pm but turn out 200% more than other members in the team and maintain test coverage +90%. Remember to keep a smile on your face when you discuss it with them though. They'll worry about what you know and what they don't. The first one to lose their manners is usually wrong regardless of the technical details in companies like these.
