/Javascript/Node.js/Node process.env.PORT

Node process.env.PORT

In many environments (e.g. Heroku), and as a convention, 
you can set the environment variable PORT 
to tell your web server what port to listen on.

So `process.env.PORT || 3000` means: 
whatever is in the environment variable PORT, 
or 3000 if there's nothing there.

So you pass that to app.listen, 
or to app.set('port', ...), 
and that makes your server able to accept a 
"what port to listen on" parameter from the environment.

If you pass 3000 hard-coded to app.listen(), 
you're always listening on port 3000, 
which might be just for you, or not, 
depending on your requirements and the requirements of the environment 
in which you're running your server.
