NTFS turns 30 years old today! I hear it's still in use by some crufty old legacy operating systems ๐Ÿ˜ (en.wikipedia.org)

As a full time desktop Linux user since 1999 (the actual year of the Linux desktop, I swear) I wish all you Windows folks the best of luck on the next clean install ๐Ÿ‘

...and Happy 30th Birthday "New Technology" File System!

You like diving 12 folders deep to find the file you're after? I feel like there's better, more efficient ways to be organized using metadata, but maybe I'm wrong.

    You run into the file parth limit all the fucking time if you're a developer at an organization that enforces fullname usernames.

    I think I've spotted the real problem.

    People have been talking about the real problem from the beginning of the thread: small character limit on file paths.

    I would be pissed if they made me use such a ridiculously long login name at work. Mine is twelve characters and that's already a pain in the ass (but it's a huge company and I have a really common name, so I guess all the shorter variations were already taken).

    Edit: Also, I checked it's really very simple to enable 32kb paths in recent versions of Windows.
