django-12factor

What is it?

Django is an awesome Python web framework.

"The Twelve-Factor App" is an awesome methodology for building SaaS apps.

django-12factor makes Django more 12factor-y. Right now, this focusses on the Config - "Store config in the environment"; Heroku users with addons will be particularly familiar with this.

"Positive Discrimination"

(Axiom: "affirmative action" == "positive discrimination", the former being a USism, the latter a UKism)

"“Affirmative action” means positive steps taken to increase the representation of women and minorities in areas of employment, education, and business from which they have been historically excluded. When those steps involve preferential selection—selection on the basis of race, gender, or ethnicity—affirmative action generates intense controversy."

My issue is with "preferential selection".

@alexstapleton: @doismellburning @didlix Thus saying "I don't approve of +ve discrimination" is saying "I don't agree with increasing equality." [http://twitter.com/alexstapleton/status/363239400890564610]

If Person A steals a bike from Person B, then Person A is riding a bike to school, and Person B is walking. A is better off at the expense of B. That is clear-cut and most people’s view of theft. In Serge’s case, think of being at a company for three years and you carry a spiral notebook and write everything down. Everything about your meetings, your ideas, products, sales, client meetings—it’s all written down in that notebook. You leave for your new job and take the notebook with you (as most people do). The contents of your notebook relate to your history at the prior company, but have very little relevance to your new job. You may never look at it again. Maybe there are some ideas or templates or thoughts you can draw on. But that notebook is related to your prior job, and you will start a new notebook at your new job which will make the old one irrelevant. . . . For programmers their code is their spiral notebook. [It enables them] to remember what they worked on—but it has very little relevance to wha
