Why didn't some of us feel confident about trusting our lives to a steel cable and some mountain climbing gear? The answer is simple: Fear of the unknown.

Building custom software is a lot like trusting your life to a zipline. The stakes are high, and the payoff can be absolutely exhilarating. Successful custom software projects make everyone involved feel like they’re on cloud nine. The wind in your hair, the spectacular view, the amazing feeling of accomplishment! But it can also go badly: we hear grisly stories of failed products, blown budgets, or vanishing developers on a regular basis. No wonder some people are apprehe

I read the docs and went through their tutorial, The classic TODO Appm but what really got me was that there was no backend per-se, no models/services on my client requesting data from the server, no endpoints defined on a router and THEN I noticed the curious
