I've read H&P and a bunch of PG's essays. Unsure what conflict exists btw Graham's writings and the content of this guy's powerpoint essay.
> Update: This post does not live up to its original title We are building a better Heroku...It should have emphasized the building part, we're just starting. The current 5 minute production app doesn't hold a candle to Heroku at the moment. It should have made it clear the goals is to improve the speed with which you can configure a production app, not a development app. Development apps on Heroku are already close to perfect.

What the heck does that mean? All of my apps are "production apps", what is a "development app" and why would I be deploying it to heroku? Nobody is paying heroku prices for something other than an app that will be in production! (Yes, you might have staging and feature demo etc... is that what they're tyring to talk about? They think heroku is great for deploying your staging phase, but when you get to the production phase.... they think the article explains this somehow? Cause it certainly does not).
I for real don't even underestand the distiction they are trying to make here about heroku being good for "development apps" not "production apps". Like before saying whether I agree or not, I don't even understand what they are talking about.
I am also very curious about this. I've been keeping track of knowledge mgmt tooling (esp. plain text) and approaches (e.g. ADR) for a couple years. Grand Unified Theory forthcoming :)
