I started my post-PhD career as a one-man-band "full-stack" shop on the back of meteor. I remember developing prototypes overnight between client meetings and blow minds with a fully functioning product deployed and functional before they even finished describing it to me.

I reluctantly moved on to a larger project where Meteor just didn't make sense and it just seemed to fall apart in the rear-view mirror.

I have such fond memories of using the CLI to scaffold a new project that came with built in auth, UI components, and a simple, sane project structure, then deploy it with a single command...bliss.
