Johnny.Decimal - More than 100 customers?

This video is for a blog post: jdcm.al/22.00.0038
User PMunch asks on Discord [1]: “Basically I’m worried about space”
There’s more, but you can read it in the Discord thread. In summary: we have more than 100 customers. How does that work?
I never pretend that Johnny.Decimal is perfect, and one of the ways that the standard implementation ‘fails’ is when you have more than n number of something. More than 10 categories of thing, for example.
Or more than 100 of pretty much anything. One of my design principles is that you don’t have more than 100 of anything.
So, we need to adapt. What I’ll do eventually is document these patterns formally, so I can give them names and refer to them.
I’ve done that for the first pattern I talk about: multiple systems [13.01] ( jdcm.al/13.01/ ).
Until then, here’s me thinking out loud. I’d like to do more of these: maybe one a week? Send me your questions: jdcm.al/21.01/
