> one thing i always see glossed over is using application factories [0]. they are a bit harder to grok initially, IMHO what makes app factories hard to grok is the poor documentation and examples/tutorials on the topic. The official docs mention app factories are great but then don't include any clear example on how they could be used with routes. They do include examples that don't use app factories, thus that's what newbies use to get up and running, and afterwards keep on using because it works.
