As a nod to the Zen of Python
- Modular is better than integrated, usually
- Forever free-tier services are a big plus
- Think “cloud experimentation”
- Pure Python is better than mixed
- Try existing cross-domain products first
- Open-source is better than closed-source, usually
- Closed-source with a great API is better than open-source with poor documentation, sometimes
- Avoid all-or-nothing thinking with middle paths
