Folder structures do two jobs but only one well
Original: Your folder structure has two jobs, but only does one
A new blog post argues that folder structures in software projects carry two responsibilities — organising code for developers and communicating the architecture — but most conventions only accomplish the first. The author suggests developers should treat directory layouts as documentation of intent rather than mere storage, a point resonating with programmers debating best practices.
Why now: Developers on Hacker News are debating a fresh take on a common, relatable problem in code organisation.
