Everything I know about good system design

Everything I know about good system design

I see a lot of bad system design advice. One classic is the LinkedIn-optimized “bet you never heard of queues” style of post, presumably aimed at people who are…

Linked is an outstanding summary of system design. It could be a book or a course! Of course good because I agree with just about every view and recommendation.

cmdalias: Multi word alias

cmdalias: Multi word alias

Source: github.com

Just a small tool to help me (and you but without any guaranty) to create command alias and sub-aliases (multi word alias) - adoy/cmdalias

Linked is not a recommendation - as I have not tried it. But I've been typing lots of repetitive commands the last few days and I got to thinking that having a way to have aliases which were more than a single word would make them easier to remember and more flexible. This is one that I found

👻 Ghostty is a fast, feature-rich, and cross-platform terminal emulator that uses platform-native UI and GPU acceleration. - ghostty-org/ghostty

Linked is a new terminal emulator. What interests me is that it is said to be embeddable because it is distributed also as a library with well defined apis.

A LaTeX CV/Resume Framework. Contribute to sinaatalay/rendercv development by creating an account on GitHub.

Kinda cool. Linked is a simple tool which formats a cv in one of several styles. But the trick is that the input is a yaml file which contains all the content as a structured text file that you can edit with vscode and version track with GitHub. Nice!

A CLI utility and Python library for interacting with Large Language Models, both via remote APIs and models that can be installed and run on your own machine.

Follow the link below: I’ve been looking for a nicely packaged way to try llms locally, that is without using a cloud based service and without uploading my pi to another company. This tool is a good solution to the problem.

Jade Rubick - Implementing Amazon's single threaded owner model a retrospective

Source: rubick.com

A Single Threaded Owner (STO), is a single leader that is completely responsible for their area of the product. I share my experiences implementing this model, including the tradeoffs and challenges. And I give the nuts and bolts of how we implemented it and what we learned.

The attached article describes an org structure apparently originated at Amazon, called “single threaded owner” or STO. In a company with multiple products, one common setup is to have separate dev, pm and design groups each covering all products. STO says to have a separate, single manager for…

TEO is the schema-driven web server framework native to Rust, Node.js and Python. It reduces developing time and improves developers' life experience.

Wow a brand new web framework! Where did this spring from, apparently fully formed, out of nowhere? Or am I not hanging out in the right neighborhood? Take a look at the attached site!
