You obviously don't write code!
Well, I do some, but I use languages that tend to have one single
source file per program!
For my "Software Development" (Windows) machine:
548,492 on my C: drive for ~89GB
and that's *just* executables, no "user content" (though it includes
library sources from vendors, etc.)
No idea for the "Hardware Development" machine as I'm migrating that to
new iron, currently.
The appliance that runs most of my basic services, here, shows:
303,436 in the NetBSD repository for a total of 12,103,138KB (~12GB)
134,444 in the pkgsrc repository for a total of 1,767,980KB (~1.5GB)
Note that the pkgsrc repo doesn't contain any of the *sources* for
the packages.
And, I can't look at *my* repository cuz firing up that machine would
add way too much fan noise to the noise currently being generated by
my "Reference Documents" NAS box.
So things will just grow, and I'll just buy bigger and bigger hard
drives, which further reduces the likelyhood that I'll ever clean
things up. Unless I start collecting movies or something, I'm thinking
that 2 or 3 TB might be a lifetime supply of disk storage.
grin> Silly boy. As you said originally, the problem is the effort
required to *delete* files means you never *shrink* your store to it's
current ACTUAL requirements.
Music is also a pig. I'm at about 500G for my music collection and
haven't finished ripping it all. (though if you opt for MP3 you can
cut that dramatically).
Fortunately, I don't listen to music. My life is complex enough
already.
You should! I think it really helps with creativity and workflow.
Not for me. It's silence all the way, if I'm doing any sort of hard
thinking.
EEs should like electronic music! Some of the stuff the "kids"
listen to these days is pretty amazing and obviously composed by
some very talented folks. This tune is one of my favorites for
doing EE stuff:
