Keep an open mind. Learn from others do and adopt the practices you like. It's fine if you develop strong opinions as you go along, but don't be an ass about it.
After reading this post, I have started to organize my documents and projects according to the description. I feel like this is going to be helpful not only so that I can find what I'm looking for, but so that I don't have 4 copies of every giant source code repo taking up my disk space.
I do have one question: in the examples, the category shows "40-49 BlahBlah", but the subcategory goes "41 Taxes, 42 Expenses, etc." Is there a reason why X0 is skipped? Is this so you have room for something you might have forgotten?
For my own amusement I tried this a couple months ago and I 100% agree. I found my code to be more engaging to develop and understand (function names encoded into 3 chars, structure names encoded into 4 chars, primitive types are a capital letter, etc).
It is like a game you play with your brain to recall how your code works. And, it reminded me about studying 6809 assembly in college, where it was easy to memorize every instruction mnemonic and what it meant.
I just don’t know if I would show it to someone at work, but for my own prototypes and experiments, I like it.
