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 ?

    ~/code for code

    ~/dots for git-backed nix configs

    ~/.rt for projects compiled locally (“runtime”)

    ~/Screencast for recordings of my screen

    I also create a ~/.shrc.bash symlink that points to ~/dots/bash/bashrc that reats ~/dots/bash/*.bash and sources the files

    ~/.shenv.bash where I keep environment (computer) specific settings
