The Mo-Factor App

In the spirit of Twelve-Factor Apps, this is a list of concrete things that you can do to make your software better. Some of it overlaps with Twelve-Factor Apps, but it's all good.

Comes in 3 types of flavour

• Stable - something like popcorn.webmaker.org this is a high-end, high traffic site and is built to ensure that it can cope with both fast feature iteration and high peaks in traffic.
• Immature - something like source.mozillaopennews.org this is a site in production but development is less regular and traffic less heavy. However if things do need to move quickly, or if we're especting a planned peak in traffic the app can still cope.

module.exports = function replify (name, ctx) {
  var repl_path = "/tmp/" + name + ".sock"
  ctx || (ctx = {})

  fs.unlink(repl_path, function () {
    // intentionally not listening for the error. either way, we're good.

Day job:
  Web Tinkerer with Mozilla Foundation & P2PU

Favorite Python project:
  Academic favorite: PyPy. I'm a sucker for language experimentation and  meta-circular evaluators.
  Practical favorite: flask. It's simple, it's clean (using decorators for routes is fantastic), it's self-contained. Great for prototyping and simple apps.

Favorite Conference:
  It may sound like I'm sucking up, but honestly it was CodeConf. If only for Jeremy Ashkenas's talk on literate programming (but also for everything else).
