I've been chipping away at moving to my own flavor of JD over the last year. One of the first things I did was add one higher level with broad categories, numbered as x00. Tis way things are broadly organized, I still don't have to 'fundamentally' go more than two folders deep or 'have more than 100 folders', but I can use it for my entire work life despite having 100-ish actual technical projects. Backporting old docs to this system is a real chore and honestly, I haven't been very disciplined about that part, besides moving old Project folders under the top-level Projects folder. But this is always going to be an issue with any new filing system, and I don't think there's a lot of value in doing it. Maybe would be an interesting programmatic exercise. But I, hotsauceror at his keyboard, am NOT going to go and retroactively assign a 753.0026 etc identifier to every document lol... My rough, rough hierarchy is as follows: 100 - Administrative - 110 Interview Notes - 110.001-eng-john-smith.md - 120 Onboarding - 130 Performance - 140 Training + Certification - 150 Travel + Expense 200 - Analysis - 210 Code Review - 220 Performance Tuning - 230 Technical Specs 300 - Documentation - 310 HOWTOs and Runbooks - 320 Technical Specifications - 330 Environment - 340 Processes 400 - Meetings (this is a catchall) - YYYY-MM-DD-annual-project-plan.md - YYYY-MM-DD-budget.md - YYYY-MM-DD-new-policy-rollout.md 500 - Operations - 510 Stack #1 - 510.001-turn-it-off-and-back-on-again.md - 520 Stack #2 - 520.001-reset-proxysql-after-network-partition.md - 530 ... 600 - Troubleshooting (another outlier) - yyyy-mm-dd-stack-2345-bad-plan - yyyy-mm-dd-stack-1234-cpu-peg - yyyy-mm-dd-stack-3456-non-yielding-scheduler 700 - Projects - 701 Project 01 - 702 Project 02 - 703 Project 03... 800 - Reports 900 - Training - 901 Brown Bags / Lunch+Learn - 902 Terraform Certification - 903 AWS Certification I have recently added a 000 - Logs folder for places like coding journals, another trendy suggestion that pops up here on HN from time to time that I may or may not stick with...
