How to train your Gulpfile to know about environment configurations

“I want to write a Gulpfile that I can use for development and production, so that I can conditionally execute tasks like minifying. I have done this before by duplicating tasks, but it doesn’t feel right because I want my gulpfile to be as DRY as possible. Also, the company I work for has several websites that each need to a build file, which has already proven to be a maintenance nightmare. I also worry that adding complexity will create tech debt for my team, so I want to use common conventions in my Gulpfile’s API that just work.” — every developer

Data can be hard to grasp – visualising it can make comprehension faster. Sparklines (tiny charts in text, like this: 123{10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90,100}789) are a useful tool but creating them for the web has always required code. Removing the need for code makes it more accessible. If you can use type, you can use Spark.
