Real unit test (isolation, no children render)

Custom recipe to get OS X 10.11 El Capitan running from scratch with useful applications and Node.js Developer environment. I use this gist to keep track of the important software and steps required to have a functioning system after fresh install.
This is the follow up to a post I wrote recently called From Require.js to Webpack - Party 1 (the why) which was published in my personal blog.
In that post I talked about 3 main reasons for moving from require.js to webpack:
Here I'll instead talk about some of the technical challenges that we faced during the migration. Despite the clear benefits in developer experience (DX) the setup was fairly difficult and I'd like to cover some of the challanges we faced to make the transition a bit easier.
Brief notes on Meteor for CS 294-101. Many of the key architectural ideas in Meteor are described at https://www.meteor.com/projects.
BSD as example of great system design. Application primitives: processes run by a scheduler, sockets, sys calls, virtual memory, mbufs. What makes something a platform. Unix vs Multics.
History of application architectures. Mainframes (e.g. IBM 360 / 3270), client-server (e.g. Win32), web (e.g. LAMP), cloud-client. Oscillation of where the software runs. Thin vs thick clients, data vs presentation on the wire. Changes driven by massive forces (cheap CPUs, ubiquitous internet, mobile). New architecture for each era.
What it takes to make modern UI/UX. Mobile. Live updating. Collaboration. No refresh button. All drive the need for “realtime” or “reactive” system. Very different from HTTP era.
Four questions: 1 — how do we move data around; 2 — where does it come from; 3 — where do we put it; 4 — how do we use it?
