+# This is a bandaid library to paper over core API usability issues until we sort
+# them out. The idea is that this will be a library separate from Dagster but
+# referenced in our tutorials. It will be used for simple examples where 80%
+# solutions suffice. If you need more flexibility beyond this, you can
+# learn more about the internals of Dagster.
+
+# This is inspired by cherrypy.quickstart():
+# https://cherrypydocrework.readthedocs.io/basics.html#hosting-one-or-more-applications
+
+# There are three goals of this package:
+# 1. Hide the word "repository" from code snippets. It's still present in the UI
+#    but will be less front-and-center when someone is learning Dagster
+# 2. Hide the complexities of the resources system. You can just provide plain
+#    old values to the `resources` kwarg. This lets you write your business logic
+#    with resources in mind without having to learn how the whole resource and
+#    config system works to wire them up. This is better than hardcoding
+#    the resources directly in your business logic, since you won't have to
+#    rewrite all your business logic to support resources later, just the code
+#    that injects resources here.
+# 3. Make secrets easy and obvious. Users of this library will be discouraged
+#    from using Dagster config. Instead, we will instruct users to instantiate
+#    resources directly and read secrets using os.getenv(). When
+#    https://github.com/dagster-io/dagster/pull/10491 lands users will be able
+#    to add secrets to a `.env.local` file during development, and Cloud users
+#    will get a nice UI to add secrets for prod (just like Vercel)
