Folder structures serve two jobs but do only one, developer argues

Original: Your folder structure has two jobs, but only does one

A developer blog post argues that folder structures are meant to do two things at once — organise code for machines and communicate meaning to humans — but in practice most only accomplish the first. The piece is drawing attention among developers discussing how they organise their projects and what a good directory layout should actually achieve.

Why now: Folder organisation is a perennial debate among developers, and a fresh take arguing common layouts fail half their purpose invites discussion.
