I have no idea why it bothers me so much, but it bugs the shit out of me when people create temporary directories by creating a directory and stapling a UUID on the end of a base name, as opposed to the APIs that exist for that explicit purpose.
- MiguelX413 2y agoWhat is that API called?
- jasonpeacock 2y agoMany languages have built-in support for managing tempdirs; if you're using Linux you can call `mktemp`: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/mktemp.1.html https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/mktemp.1.html
- MiguelX413 2y agoVery interesting! Thank you for informing me!
