I love these kinds of old blog posts. I admire the approach and dedication, but it feels a bit redundant. Aside from the future dated directories, some creative use of the find command could achieve a lot of this. The problem really reminds me of inheritance vs. composition. Like inheritance, file hierarchy encourages narrow classification and makes shared traits difficult to manage. Tagging for file organization seems like a much more elegant solution, letting an article or files categorization be a sum of its basic properties. Services like Pocket have adopted that approach for a reason I think. I haven't looked, but I'd love to see a tag based file system tool. One could easily imagine having a nested tree of tags where one would be able to navigate down to a file via multiple directory paths. Edit: Evidently, this is called a semantic file system: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_file_system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_file_system and Tagsistant looks a lot like what I was imagining: http://www.tagsistant.net/ http://www.tagsistant.net/
