+# 12-Factor Apps
+
+Some folks over at [Heroku](http://heroku.com/) wrote up their perceived best
+practices for building "software as a service"-style applications and called
+it [The Twelve-Factor App](http://www.12factor.net). It's a good read, and has
+lots of good advice in it.
+
+I have a few thoughts on it.

+At some point around sections 6 or 7, the goodness of the advice is overtaken
+by the "be more like Heroku specifically"-ness of the advice, to the detriment
+of their point.
