To be fair, you’re also describing working with other people.

That’s also 'cause other people’s regex are garbage!

I see a lot of good advice, so I’m going to suggest something different. Have your son watch this guy or someone like him do some stuff.

He just picks something that interests him and builds on top of that interest.

My kids (8 and 11) don’t even have any interest in doing programming at the moment, and they like watching him build stuff. We watched the Geographical Adventures playlist twice.

You’re talking about PowerShell but then complaining about cmd. Are you unaware that PowerShell is its own cli?

I’ll just leave this one for you :)

Looks like you’ve worked on some source code a time or two.

Well if you’re naming today’s file 230810_file.jpg then you could just move this century’s files to /20/230810_file.jpg once we roll over.

Then you just move everything into a new “20” folder.
