I've used this system for a few years in the past. It's definitely handy for some people, but it didn't fit my use case. I now store all important documents/photos/backups in the cloud and consider the computer to be basically throwaway.

One organizational system many programmers may appreciate is keeping your git/GitHub repos in the same place, under `.../g/<username>/<reponame>`. Huge fan of this method.

Hmm this seems unrelated to me - why not implement Johnny decimal around or within git repos? And what about it would change if used for cloud directories instead of local ones?

Probably just missing something obvious!

The only relation was that I personally used to use Johnny decimal to group my different projects, but then moved to the git repo namespace setup and no longer had a need for Johnny decimal. They aren't really substitutes so I understand your confusion!
