Make it real

Ideas are cheap. Make a prototype, sketch a CLI session, draw a wireframe. Discuss around concrete examples, not hand-waving abstractions. Don't say you did something, provide a URL that proves it.

Ship it

Nothing is real until it's being used by a real user. This doesn't mean you make a prototype in the morning and blog about it in the evening. It means you find one person you believe your product will help and try to get them to use it.

Do it with style

FWIW: I didn't produce the content present here. I've just copy-pasted it from somewhere over the Internet, but I cannot remember exactly the original source. I was also not able to find the author's name, so I cannot give him/her the proper credit.

	8.2.3. HTTP log format
	----------------------

	The HTTP format is the most complete and the best suited for HTTP proxies. It
	is enabled by when "option httplog" is specified in the frontend. It provides
	the same level of information as the TCP format with additional features which
	are specific to the HTTP protocol. Just like the TCP format, the log is usually
	emitted at the end of the session, unless "option logasap" is specified, which
	generally only makes sense for download sites. A session which matches the
	"monitor" rules will never logged. It is also possible not to log sessions for

	- What do Etcd, Consul, and Zookeeper do?
	- Service Registration:
	- Host, port number, and sometimes authentication credentials, protocols, versions
	numbers, and/or environment details.
	- Service Discovery:
	- Ability for client application to query the central registry to learn of service location.
	- Consistent and durable general-purpose K/V store across distributed system.
	- Some solutions support this better than others.
	- Based on Paxos or some derivative (i.e. Raft) algorithm to quickly converge to a consistent state.
	- Centralized locking can be based on this K/V store.
