Copy this into the console of any web page that is interactive and doesn't
do hard reloads. You will hear your DOM changes as different pitches of
audio.

Node Standards (v6.x)

The 7 Commandments of Node:

1. processes shall be small, and start instantly
2. always communicate via message bus (Redis, RabbitMQ)
   • this is intended to avoid blocking IO like a slow HTTP request
3. each process shall log to stdout
   • it's not the responsibility of the app to route logs
4. a process shall not maintain state

• avoid in-memory session ids, socket connections, etc
