Using tmux is a Python daemon antipattern? And then "there's so much wrong about this approach" that he doesn't bother explaining why? Isn't that why we are reading the article: because we want to know why?

If the author is trying to convince people to change their habits, he is doing a crummy job. He comes across as elitist and "if you don't do it my way you're wrong".



He's talking about creating /etc/init.d scripts that do something like:

screen python manage.py gunicorn &

That is an anti-pattern. Granted he didn't really explain it so well.


Honestly I didn’t think it would be necessary. :-/

Your example is btw the advanced version. Many people just ssh on the host, fire up screen and start their server inside.


I’m sorry if that felt to you like that. I’ll consider rewording it.

update I added some more context. I would never spit on my beloved tmux. :)
