@andersonbcdefg yeah i have a lot of questionably categorised files and at least timestamps help me with "wtf was i think here making 10 vaguely named files" and then my agent has to spend 10 minutes just on forensics lmao
Ben (no treats)@andersonbcdefg@menhguin i already have loose md and then every so often i put the old ones in a folder called "old". timestamp is good idea
