See https://stackoverflow.com/questions/729692/why-should-text-files-end-with-a-newline

A newline in a text file is a terminator, not a separator. This means each line should have a newline at the end of it, including the last line of the file.

Many editors automatically add the newline at the end of the file. Some do not. If you can configure your editor to ensure there is always a newline at the end of every line, please do so.

Because many editors do add this newline, if you commit a text file without it, when someone else edits the file, their editor will (correctly) add the newline. This causes a spurious diff in the file. Spurious

// An Aggregate is a tree of object relations that  protect business invariants (business rules).
// Concretely, an aggregates handle commands and have a state model encapsulated within it that allows
// it to implement the required command validation, thus upholding the invariants (business rules) of the aggregate.
// Aggregates are usually composed of several entities and values objects.
// The lifetimes of the components of an aggregate are bounded by the lifetime of the entire aggregate.
// Aggregate is abstract concept, it's just represented as an empty interface with no specific contract.

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

How to calculate your hourly rate as a freelancer?

Many people struggle with this question. Some just try to make as much as a full-time employee makes (and ignore that they won't be able to bill as many days). Others follow tips on startup related websites that suggest to ask for 20% to 50% more than an salary would yield (and ignore the additional risk and expenses they have).

Below you will find some numbers to help you calculate how high your hourly or daily rate should be.

Your yearly income should be higher than an average salary

• You take more risk than full time employees, phases without income are likely

README

Services declared as oneshot are expected to take some action and exit immediatelly (thus, they are not really services, no running processes remain). A common pattern for these type of service is to be defined by a setup and a teardown action.

Let's create a example foo service that when started creates a file, and when stopped it deletes it.

Define setup/teardown actions

Create executable file /opt/foo/setup-foo.sh:

Basic tenets

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