Kamran Ahmed ee4b7305a2 Adds ByteByteGo guides and links (#106)
This PR adds all the guides from [Visual
Guides](https://bytebytego.com/guides/) section on bytebytego to the
repository with proper links.

- [x] Markdown files for guides and categories are placed inside
`data/guides` and `data/categories`
- [x] Guide links in readme are auto-generated using
`scripts/readme.ts`. Everytime you run the script `npm run
update-readme`, it reads the categories and guides from the above
mentioned folders, generate production links for guides and categories
and populate the table of content in the readme. This ensures that any
future guides and categories will automatically get added to the readme.
- [x] Sorting inside the readme matches the actual category and guides
sorting on production

When we introduce a cache into the architecture, synchronization between the cache and the database becomes inevitable.
Lets look at 5 common strategies for how we keep the data in sync.
## Read Strategies
* Cache aside
* Read through
## Write Strategies
* Write around
* Write back
* Write through
The caching strategies are often used in combination. For example, write-around is often used together with cache-aside to make sure the cache is up-to-date.
