So, I have seen people do this, and I gotta ask... what is the plan?
Like you are saving the file, implying that you plan on using it again... why make it so hard to figure out which one it was? Especially in this case, where he has done it to enough files all in the same place that he eventually hit the same combo again.... like, are there hundreds or thousands of randomly named files in that same folder? Why save them if they will be impossible to find again anyway?
because: lazy
"doc1", "doc2", "doc3frogstudy", "doc4"
hmm, the doc is redundant. the number is also redundant, it has date to sort by. 1, 2, and 4 can be whatever.
I can see an argument for how it can still be possible to work with that... filing system, but I still don't get what the upside is, just that it doesn't have as many downsides as it seems like it should.
I personally have too many random trash notes and files to name them. Maybe it takes 30 seconds, whatever, I'm closing the thing right now. It's not important anyways, but I'm not gonna purge it all to make anyone else happy with how clean and dead my harddrive is.
