rails + webpacker + webpack-dev-server + vue + remote dev vps and nginx

Process goes something like this:

bundle update webpacker
rails webpacker:binstubs
yarn upgrade @rails/webpacker@4.0.0-pre.2 # or 'add' instead of upgrade
yarn upgrade webpack-dev-server@"'3.1.4'  # or 'add' instead of upgrade
yarn add webpack-cli

bundle exec rails webpacker:install # don't do this! the scrpit seems to overwrite the @rails/webpacker version to 3.5.3

remote dev VPS webpack-dev-server nginx setup

Remote Dev machine webpack-dev-server HMR + static serving combo

Make sure you have port 8080 (or whatever you use) open on the remote machine!! Don't be like Vinney.

I'm no webpack expert (in fact this is the first project I've set up by hand ever...), but if you know what you're doing you should be able to change the relevant parts of this to fit your project:

# webpack.config.js

module.exports = {

this is an archive of a blog post that i had saved to newsblur back when it was posted. it appears the post has since been taken down or moved.
Comments: "stefankendall.com: 10 questions to ask your potential employer"
URL: http://www.stefankendall.com/2013/11/10-questions-to-ask-your-potential.html
The interview is all too often driven by the employer. Can you handle this workload? What are your strengths and weaknesses? How do you feel about this aspect of the business?
But at the end of the interview, you do not know enough to know if you will actually love and enjoy the work. How many developers or designers do you know who have worked at a place for less than a year? Less than 9 months? I bet more than a few.
Here's some questions you should ask before committing a significant portion of your life to a company.
