Hoarding is way different from taking snapshots of your work.



Yeah. I meant that I don't see the value in keeping those snapshots for years and years. Space is cheap, but for me there was something unhealthy about the practice, which is why I used the word hoarding. Deleting the hoard was actually quite freeing for me, and it was a little surprising that I never actually missed e.g. the hundreds of screenshots of in-progress games I was developing. So I just wanted to share that perspective, not really expecting people to agree (almost didn't post my comment at all.)


I actually like when such findings evoke older emotions in me, puts things in perspective for me, how much have I grown and how much I am still the same etc etc
