I remember making so many mistakes with those. Still do sometimes.
But at first I know I had to remember them like this: "Top is left side, or top is right side?" like where is the literal top of the shape at. Then I made a little memory aid out of that.
Comparing the usage in OSes: You can imagine the backslash as the front of the W in Windows, and the forward slash as the front of an italic L for Linux, for example. Or any of a million other ways to think about it, probably.
My sympathies though, it's not fun or cool and while the post title may not describe my feeling at the moment, it's fun to see someone else working through it like this, because we all have little battles to fight along the journey.

- schoen 4y agoMaybe you could think of the forward slash as making progress on a graph. Things are growing over time, so (at least culturally in a business and economic context) they're getting better, so we're "moving forward".
