- delichon 4mo agoA junk drawer is an improvement over scattered junk.
- chrisweekly 4mo agoexactly! in fact, that's most of the whole point of .well-known!
- marcosdumay 4mo agoWhat do you mean? It was explicitly designed to be a junk drawer.
- ape4 4mo agoWhy not call it .junk-drawer instead ;)
- marcosdumay 4mo agoWell, it does live space for other drawers for other kinds of junk. This one is just for junk you already know it will be there.
- momoraul 4mo agoFair, the drawer's the good part. Beats having every spec squat its own root path.
- inigyou 4mo agoIsn't that the point though? Keeping all the junk in a drawer labeled as junk, instead of keeping it on the kitchen counter?
