Can't remember which is which but if it's organized in a top-down way (broad category first) that's just easier to look at and find stuff in the file system. I don't want to have to actually read and mentally process the names of every single file to figure out if it's the one I need. Sure, the "human readable" names are fine and good when you don't have hundreds of them you're trying to look through, but big projects I find are way easier to parse with the category naming.
US Army logistics catalogs are organized this way. "Cookies, oatmeal" instead of "Oatmeal cookies" because it's a lot easier to find what you need an a giant alphabetical list.
How any large organization gets away with not using YYYY-MM-DD format is beyond me.
Taking over some of my previous directors files is like chaos.
How anybody publishing entire internet memos without a date being on the first page is beyond me. Like wtf am I reading a PDF from 15 years ago or last month?
