    Hints and Principles for Computer System Design Butler Lampson September 12, 2019 Abstract This new long version of my 1983 paper suggests the goals you might have for your system— Simple, Timely, Efficient, Adaptable, Dependable, Yummy (STEADY)—and effective techniques for achieving them—Approximate, Incremental, Divide & Conquer (AID). It gives a few princi- ples for system design that are more than just hints, and many examples of how to apply the hints and principles. 1 Introduction There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are. —Somerset MaughamQ48 You got to be careful if you don’t know where you’re going, because you might not get there. — Yogi BerraQ8 If I have seen farther, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants. —Bernard of ChartresQ7 The quest for precision, in words or concepts or meanings, is a wild goose chase. —Karl PopperQ61 Shakespeare wrote better poetry for not knowing too much; Milton … knew too much finally for the good of his poetry. —WhiteheadQ87 In 1983 I wrote a paper on “Hints for Computer System Design” for the Symposium on Operating System Principles.R45 I reread that paper every two or three years, and for more than 15 years I saw no reason to rewrite or extend it; I had written what I knew about personal distributed com- puting, operating systems, languages, networking, databases, and fault tolerance, and computer systems were continuing the work of the 1970s on these things. But since the mid-1990s the Inter- net, mobile phones, the World Wide Web, search engines, social media, electronic commerce, malware, phishing, robots and the Internet of Things have become part of the fabric of everyday life, and concurrency and scaling are now dominant themes in systems.
