I realized I always make a source folder under home and then subfolders named after programming languages to organize projects but then I realized I somehow had my own convention for how to store my source code and I have no idea where I got it from

Then I thought. what about other Linux users ?

What sorts of conventions do you have that pertains to folder structure in Linux ?

    Why group it into language instead of say a ‘web’ directory or ‘android’/‘mobile’?

    I’m just curious, I am more of a ‘throw everything in one directory and home I remember what I’m looking for’ sort of organiser.

      I agree, just have it by project. Otherwise I might have to look in different folders to find something. And what does it add, that something is grouped by language?

      for me the project exists because I thought “id like to play with <language> today” but not necessarily “I want to make a <platform> project”
