My main, albeit simple, local organizational pattern is: 1. everything under ~/dev 2. all projects are their own folder under a year folder. And if I ever restart work on something older, I move it to the current year.
I have hundreds of project folders and it’s helpful day-to-day to just be able to look in ~/dev/2023 for current stuff. But it is also relatively easy to find older things since I have a sense of roughly how far back they are. Making a new year folder right around Jan 1 and rolling forward active work is always a treat.
