am regularly amazed that we pretend folders are the right way to organise files. They’re entirely arbitrary. Every competent file system ignores them to its best ability. Why can’t I have a file in two folders? Why does one have to be a “reference”? Why can’t I filter for files that exist in 3 folders with X extension?

We’ve been played for absolute fools.

    Wait, I’ve got it: what if we put every file in one folder, and then hard-link the files we need higgildy-piggildy all over the place!

    We can call it WinSxS!
