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 ?

    Honestly it’s a pretty good way of compartmentalizing projects in your mind.
    You usually remember pretty well what language your wrote a project in.
    And if you want to find a project again you just have to look in that language’s directory.

    Second advantage is that if there’s a language you only fucked around a little for fun, it doesn’t clutter the directories of your most used languages.
