For my entry into the #EmberJS2019 blog post compendium this year, I have chosen to focus exclusively on EmberData. In truth, I have been a bit surprised (and slightly sad) at the shortage of posts that focus on the data story in the Ember ecosystem. I am sure this lack of posts means that folks are completely and highly satisfied with the data story ;-) If you have your own thoughts after reading this post, please share them! While today (June 17th) marks the end of the call-for-blog-posts, it by no means marks the end of healthy discussion! I also promise this is not the last of my blog pos…
Last week we published ember-data version 3.5.0 and made version 3.4 our first official LTS release. Releasing an LTS means that we are able to garbage collect on minor deprecations that were scheduled to live until after that LTS was released. For instance, the private method Store._modelForMixin was deprecated with a notice that it would be removed in or after 3.5. deprecate( `_modelForMixin is private and deprecated and should never be used directly, use modelFor instead`, false, { id: 'ember-data:_modelForMixin', until: '3.5', } ); Deleting Modules is Sadistic F…
Tomorrow's Ember is not what you think Prelude This is part two of a multi-part series responding to the call for #EmberJS2018 blog posts. In part one I discussed the current state of Ember and what's coming soon (this year). If you haven't read that yet, you should read that first. I ended that last post with a question that I will begin to answer here: What can we do as an ecosystem, as a community, as a team to build an technology stack that is happy, productive, easy, and performant? #EmberJS2018 The call for blog post was meant for exploration of the unknowns. There is a vast univers…
Today's Ember is not what you think either Prelude In considering the call for #EmberJS2018 blog posts, I wondered whether I should add my voice. The past two years I have been blessed to work alongside a deep bench of core-team members and regular contributors to the community. During this time, most of my open-source contributions have been towards one of the core projects (#emberData) and helping to set its direction. I mention this because in a lot of ways I have felt that I am too invested and too close to the project to write one of these posts. In addition to giving the community a g…
The passage of time is enigmatic: even when seemingly bubbling past a slow happy brook it is truly a river surging quickly towards the ocean. These past few months, an idea for a new blog post has been filtering in and out of the forefront of my mind, slowly being massaged by my subconsious into something more worth sharing. Like a slow happy brook, bubbling quietly towards a larger stream. Here, these months later, having found that much time has passed with scarce a blink, I suddenly find myself adrift in an ocean. How did I get here? Step into this boat, dear reader, and allow me to revi…
