hoarding lines of programming scripts and code and files and notes and . . .


In which I realise I hoard lines of scripts, lines of code and older scripts/code files, notes, logfiles, . . . .

I don't agree that hoarding is bad though it seems to be very unfashionable now :-7
Or rather is fashionable to be very minimalist and throw everything out.
"Does it give you joy?" Yes actually! :-P

Me today:

# This script is kept as mechanism for running things once-off as root might be useful,
# . . . and because I have a compulsion to hoard stuff.
#  Hoarding like a pirate of course, not like a mad person!

Pretty shiny treasures are hoarded of course, not just any old junk.

I do think a big pile of old logfiles and notes . . .,
 and useful comments in code,
 and useful code snippets,
 and logfiles and .pcap files
 are useful for maintaining and debugging bigish complex messy systems.

Need to manage it and organise the hoard.

So notes and snippets are converted to shared notes/helpfiles.


It is nice having a big yard full of stuff to enable random art/other projects.
