  • I disagree, you should start with what you want to do no matter how challenging, figure out on a high level what it takes eg what stack you’ll be using, figure out how they connect together then start at your first entree point, or in other words the one you can directly interact with, it saves you a lot of time down the road to actually have something to build to and prevents you from getting overwhelmed and you get immediate feedback which is nice.








  • Ok technically but why couldn’t we keep a stable explicit hierarchy without breaking compatibility or relying on symlinks and assumption?

    In other words

    Why not /system/bin, /system/lib, /apps/bin.

    Or why not keep /bin as a real directory forever

    Or why force /usr to be mandatory so early?

    Can anyone explain to me why it was so important to break the Linux file system?

    Like I believe it was since literally every single distribution did it, but I don’t get why it was so important that we had to make things incompatible unless you know what you are doing.
