Desktop, Dev, Downloads, Documents, Dropbox etc.
I thought about taking action about this, but as the author points about, many applications are quite opinionated on the matter.
- maccard 3y agoI use `/src` to avoid this problem
- beretguy 3y agoI use “/Code”.
- FireInsight 3y agoI once accidentally did an `rm -rf ~/` on a machine without backups and it removed everything alphabetically up until `~/Coding` (everything else being unimportant). So I fixed that by setting up backups and renaming it `~/Zoding` lol. Haven't been foolish enough to make that same mistake again, though.
- skirmish 3y agoYay, I am quite safe, all my projects are nested inside "~/Work"!!
- BristleShopping 3y agodid that oops recently and it deleted `~/VirtualBox VMs/` while `~/Code` survived.
