Ask HN: HN people who write meaningful software, how did you learn to program?
I don't really know how many users I have, so I don't know how "meaningful" my projects are, but I have found some of them posted on French, Chinese, Greek, Russian blogs etc., so hopefully they fill some people's needs besides my own.

I learned to program because I was frustrated that after working in IT consulting for several years, I still had no idea how computers worked. I started with "Learn Python the Hard Way" and "Automate the Boring Stuff with Python". Then got a job doing some Windows consulting stuff, and they said they'd hire me as a software engineer if I learned Go, which was a pretty easy step from Python. I'd tried to learn programming as a kid several times and always found it too frustrating. I started working on side projects as a way to learn new languages, improve my resume, and scratch my own itches. The hardest part was coming up with ideas for useful/worthwhile projects. I was super frustrated one day that the easiest way to get a file between two machines that were right beside each other was sending them out to the internet via Google Drive or Dropbox, which made me want to write "cross-platform AirDrop", which became Flying Carpet. If you find yourself wanting a simple piece of software that seems like it should already exist, that's a great project idea.

tss, tags in file names
Take a file. Add [awesome] to the name. There. You've tagged a file, and you can search for it with your desktop search / fzf / etc. Switch system, copy it anywhere, it works. You can do this by hand. Or, if you like clicks and drag-n-drop, use TagSpaces. Or, use tss.

Everything that uses configuration files should report where they're located
The UNIX filesystem has traditionally been a graph for ever. I haven't looked at details for a couple of decades, but definitely all UNIX/POSIX/Linux filesystems operate on a graph model.
A distinction I used to make when I was teaching this stuff: on your filesystem tree, on Unix names (labels) are on the links (arrows), while on DOS/Windows names are on nodes (boxes).
If you want to explore a tag-based system, take a look at https://www.tagspaces.org/

how do you organize nonfiction literature that you have an ebook, audiobook and maybe some worksheets and videos?
If the naming convention is different, or you'd prefer to go the tagging route, tagspaces may be your best bet. It can use standard tags in the file, or a sidecar file (file with the same name, but different extension next to the original file) to keep tags with the file.

What's the point of document management apps?
Agreed. Why not use the filesystem as the database that it is? Modern filesystems support tags or extended attributes that could be used to implement tags. Failing that, just encode tags in the filename. Document management tools could then use the filesystem as the source of truth.
