System Design Cheatsheet

Picking the right architecture = Picking the right battles + Managing trade-offs

Basic Steps

Clarify and agree on the scope of the system

User cases (description of sequences of events that, taken together, lead to a system doing something useful)
- Who is going to use it?
- How are they going to use it?

Most active GitHub users (git.io/top)

The list would not be updated for now. Don't write comments.

The count of contributions (summary of Pull Requests, opened issues and commits) to public repos at GitHub.com from Wed, 21 Sep 2022 till Thu, 21 Sep 2023.

Because of GitHub search limitations, only 1000 first users according to amount of followers are included. If you are not in the list you don't have enough followers. See raw data and source code. Algorithm in pseudocode:

githubUsers

	* {
	font-size: 12pt;
	font-family: monospace;
	font-weight: normal;
	font-style: normal;
	text-decoration: none;
	color: black;
	cursor: default;
	}

	Common Unicode Subsets
	======================

	ASCII
	~~~~~

	Not exactly known as a Unicode subset; the Unicode character set starts with
	ASCII, though; therefore, ASCII is the smallest widely-used subset of
	Unicode.

	var mongoose = require('mongoose');

	mongoose.connect('mongodb://localhost/test');

	var db = mongoose.connection;

	db.on('error', function() {
	return console.error.bind(console, 'connection error: ');
	});
