JSON <--> YAML conversion scripts

JSON is very standard. YAML, a superset of JSON, is very readable. Got something that needs JSON, and want to write the input in YAML? Use yaml2json. Have JSON and want to view it in a more readable format? Use json2yaml.

Use with files or stdin/stdout. Pretty-print the JSON if you want.

Requires pyyaml (via pip or easy_install), aka the python-yaml Ubuntu package.

A version of these files is available at tinyurl/json2yaml and tinyurl.com/yaml2json for you to wget or curl -L

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?

// Just before switching jobs:
// Add one of these.
// Preferably into the same commit where you do a large merge.
//
// This started as a tweet with a joke of "C++ pro-tip: #define private public",
// and then it quickly escalated into more and more evil suggestions.
// I've tried to capture interesting suggestions here.
