Development server issues

[mcoker]

I randomly get this error in the terminal from the development server

[2] /Users/cmichael/repos/patternfly-next/node_modules/yoga-layout-prebuilt/yoga-layout/build/Release/nbind.js:53
[2]         throw ex;
[2]         ^
[2] 
[2] TypeError: Cannot read property 'write' of null
[2]     at Zlib.callback (zlib.js:499:33)
[2] gatsby develop exited with code 7

Zack recommended the fix in gatsbyjs/gatsby#14553, which increases the system's file watcher limit. I've verified that it's writing this out to /etc/sysctl.conf and persists after rebooting

marvin:patternfly-next cmichael$ grep max_user_watches /etc/sysctl.conf
fs.inotify.max_user_watches=524288

Also updates to .hbs and the component example .md files aren't always reflected in the browser. However simply stopping the server and restarting (and sometimes after removing the .cache dir) will reflect the changes.

Occasionally something really weird happens - I'll make a change and don't see it in the browser, so I make some other change, then I see the original change but not the new change. Then I make another change, and see the previous change, but not the new one. I've verified I'm giving the server plenty of time to rebuild and reflect the change in the browser. Restarting the server will fix that, too.
