This thread is already 8 hours old, but the advice should also be classified by how long the commenter has been using their methods.

A person who has a couple years (or less) organizing their files and folders is very different from someone who used their methods for 10+ years and didn't lose the data.

Speaking of losing data, having a working backup/restore strategy is a critical part of a workable organization method.

Questions for PHP, and MySQL folks (not meant in a negative way):

- PHP: A few years ago I heard about how PHP was needlessly complex. I wonder what the recent status of the programming language is. Specifically, do experienced PHP programmers stick to a subset of PHP, as in "PHP: The good parts"? (similar to "Javascript: The good parts"). (side note: As a diehard python person frustrated due to latest versions becoming bloated in features, I fully acknowledge that I'm in the "Python: The good parts" camp right now).

- MySQL is owned by a company lately. I wonder if PostgresQL is clearly a better alternative?

Thanks for this, exactly what I wanted to see. It has dragged my thinking forward by miles. I should invest time in MPS, embeddr etc.

I feel very strongly about this and have very crude ideas about what I want (e.g., expressed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8283025).

Would love to get in touch with you.
