We do popups once a week alongside our day jobs. It's been a long journey and we would like to open a storefront at some point. The bakery makes well over $500/month, but not quite enough to sustain ourselves full time yet.
It's a great way for me to learn about design and marketing as well.
Speaking of design, your website asks me to sign up for a newsletter before I can see the page. It's missing an X button where I'd typically look for it.
I have a few months of experience working with MobX and have read a lot of the community material. Since it's so flexible, there's a lot of different patterns you can do with MobX. I haven't been able to set on one, any suggestions?
The pattern I use is to create classes for stores, each store having a small, fairly well defined scope e.g. AuthenticationStore. These stores contain the observable variables, computed variables and action methods (I use strict mode) for working with the data. I allow the action methods to do other stuff like make HTTP calls etc too, I find life much easier that way rather than all the side-effects middleware hassle with Redux :)
I then use the “root store” pattern from the MobX docs (https://mobx.js.org/best/store.html) - I have a stores/index.ts file which contains a class containing instances of all the other top level stores. I can then instantiate the root store and access it either through Provider or as a singleton. Each store can have the instance of the root Store passed in to the constructor for cross-store communication, which can be convenient although I think other patterns such as callbacks are probably more architecturally sound.
But I suspect that's not the question you were asking.
Does it really work: It works for me, yes. But we are all different and I suspect it'd have different effect on different people.
Why does it work (for me)?
I don't know for sure, it could be placebo effect or... I have read that lack of sleep affect the production of cortisol and histamine, interestingly enough some studies say increase, some say decrease (could it be a different effect based on individual?). The fact is, both histamine and cortisol affect the immune response, and allergies are basically your immune system reacting too much or reacting to the wrong thing.
Definitely not sustainable for more than 2 or 3 days, but it's a nice way to take a break from drugs.
Being from Realm, I might not be the right one to give you a balanced view, but I can at least try a bit:
One huge difference is that Parse is no longer developed by a company after Facebook abandoned it. It's been open sourced and its future is up to the community.
Another is very related to this article. Realm resolves all your conflicts automatically, the developer doesn't have to do that. That's even done more fine grained at the property level.
Realms focus on being an offline first database means that your data is always available locally.
Then there are subjective differences. Until the launch of the Realm Mobile Platform, Realm has not had a solution for syncing to a backend. We have a lot of users who have chosen to use Realm locally and Parse as the backend. I guess that's a testament to the local database features from Realm. But with the new syncing solution, that's no longer needed, and all the networking code can be forgotten.
I'm sure others can come up with pros for Parse, but if you are not already invested in Parse, I think most would recommend looking elsewhere due to the first point.
Would you consider hiring someone for a remote, full time or part time position that has relevant work experience but not a degree (yet)?
To be more clear, I've got a year left to complete my degree in CS but I feel that I'm more than capable of contributing to an organization without an internship program.
