Some popular conventions that I've observed
I'm a big believer in conventions. I like having clear directions for minor trivial details instead of hmmm-ing and haw-ing about what to do when it's just not a big deal but also you want to conform to the expectations of the ecosystem. But when entering a new ecosystem it's hard to get a feel for what the conventions are. For instance, if you're a new JavaScript programmer should you put your test code in tests/
, test/
, or __tests__/
? There's not really a good answer on Google.
This is a collection of some of these "what's the most popular way to $X?" questions and their results.
There may be more posts in this series. I'll probably want to write down some other search popularity results at some point.
