am regularly amazed that we pretend folders are the right way to organise files. They’re entirely arbitrary. Every competent file system ignores them to its best ability. Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”? Why can’t I filter for files that exist in 3 folders with X extension?
We’ve been played for absolute fools.
I disagree, folder system means any programming language that can handle files don't need any special libraries for system access.
Have you considered how godsend is to generate random numbers with just reading /dev/random however you want?
