The squeals are loud and plentiful considering we pass alpacas every time we drive back into the city. And yes! We're totally going to have to catch up soon.

Thanks so much @Claire! We have a bunch of lenses, but these photos were with the 24mm f/1.4L II, 35mm f/1.4L or the 50 f/1.2L.

Almost forgot, there are a few medium format film photos here too. Those were taken with an 80mm f/2 lens for the Contax 645 system.

I think there's a point in everyone's life when they realise that no one really knows what they're doing and everyone is just winging it as they go.

It's partly liberating, partly terrifying.

Absolutely. I remember thinking that being a grown up meant you had your shit sorted and knew what you were doing. Bit of a rude awakening to realise that's never going to happen.

I also used a lot of exclamation points in this post. So much enthusiasm!

Great article. One minor correction though: "X-Forward-Proto" should probably be "X-Forwarded-Proto" in your nginx example.

Re: The State Of Meteor Part 2: What Happens Next

In some ways, I can understand MDG's desire to stay neutral on certain topics when the landscape of JS frameworks is changing so rapidly. The community's uptake of React has really only accelerated in the past 12 months. Who is to say that React really is going to be the best option in another 12 months' time? Will we find ourselves reading articles about how the MDG needs to abandon React for something newer and sexier?

We as developers tend to always want our platforms to be cutting edge, often to the detriment of stability and proven codebases. To adopt React right now is to condemn yourself to constantly rewriting your code to stay current to an ever evolving spec.

Meteor is a unique position because its full stack nature is both a positive and a negative. You can either prescribe the whole stack and people will criticise you for your lack of flexibility and poor future proofing, or you can attempt to decouple your layers and lose many of the benefits that full stack has to offer in the first place. I have no idea what the correct answer is, but I hope the MDG is strong enough in will to make a decision and stick with it.

I suppose that's fair, but it's very hard to predict the state of the industry in 12 months time. 24-36 months ago it would have seemed perfectly reasonable to fully embrace Angular and never get too far into Blaze at all. Look how that turned out.
