Commander JavaScript

I have been wanting to gain some more Computer Science knowledge so I started reading more about Design Patterns. I have known about them for a long time and generally speaking my primary understanding ended at the Singleton pattern. I knew that there were other patterns defined but had no use for them since I didn't know them or how to use them.

Recently I have been building libraries of code more and have found that I like the Command Pattern a lot. Especially in JavaScript where some other language features are missing - or available depending on your point of view - which create problems for securing functionality from tampering.

Use Case

You are a developer wanting to create a new library for a particular purpose. You know that you are not going to necessarily think of everything, needed for other developers to use up front, so you want to also provide a way for them to add in features as they need to. You want to do this but don't want to allow them to harm the functionalit

Internet Scale Services Checklist

A checklist for designing and developing internet scale services, inspired by James Hamilton's 2007 paper "On Desgining and Deploying Internet-Scale Services."

• http://mvdirona.com/jrh/talksandpapers/jamesrh_lisa.pdf

Basic tenets

• Does the design expect failures to happen regularly and handle them gracefully?
• Have we kept things as simple as possible?

# A simple script to keep a tidy ~/code directory organized by owner & then repo
# When the script is done, just hit command-v to switch into the directory
# (Github and Mac only. Sorry, openness!)
#
# Usage:
#   gloan <org>/<repo>
# Or:
#   gloan <org> <repo>
