Prefixes
Prefixes are a way for me to assign specific tree ownership. it’s a bit of a thin line when to prefix the note or not.
Some general rules to follow when prefixing:
- Prefix only when the note is related to a specific technology/software/etc
- Example:
- Go - JSON
- This is definitely needed as JSON is a concept that is present outside of Go, however I want to outline the specific use of JSON in Go in that note.
- Aria Automation - Cloud Template
- Cloud Templates won’t really make much sense outside of Aria Automation, so there we go
- Go - JSON
- Example:
- Don’t prefix origin/environment
- Example
- sudo
- I could have added
Linux -orLinux Security -but that is not needed.
- I could have added
- sudo
- Example
Suffixes
Suffixes are a distinction of type/organization/origin
Some general rules to follow when suffixing
- Don’t suffix if there is an existing prefix. That prefix should hold enough information
- Prefix to denote organization for people
- I use it to specify which company people may belong to.
- Prefix the type when working with creative fiction/nonfiction.
- Things like movies, anime, books, shows, etc
- Suffix when too ambiguous to denote type
- A great example of this would be quotes
