After many years of using chrome exclusively I went back to using Firefox two weeks ago. It was the best decision I have made thoroughly enjoying using it over chrome.

What got me to look to move was the last few months I have found chrome unreliable with it hanging and crashing. Since moving to firefox no more.

Also the plugins I am using with firefox rocks. For example this: http://piro.sakura.ne.jp/xul/_treestyletab.html.en never seen anything as good available for chrome.

I wonder how this compares to minikube: https://github.com/kubernetes/minikube

Amazon RDS is fantastic. Don’t discount it as an option. Especially with their reserved instance pricing.

you can also achieve the same by using

I gave it a try but it was very buggy and unstable hence didnt continue to use it. But I think this is a good option too once developed more.

I also came across this but dont know how good:

Is this a real native app or just a wrapper around a web browser?

I disagree with the articles opinion on Typescript. I think even if you stick to ES6 features Typescript is a great consideration over Babel as it gives you better tooling.

Also, its clear the author is a React Fan. I would not discount Angular 2 as a consideration either.
