I use `/src` to avoid this problem

I once accidentally did an `rm -rf ~/` on a machine without backups and it removed everything alphabetically up until `~/Coding` (everything else being unimportant). So I fixed that by setting up backups and renaming it `~/Zoding` lol. Haven't been foolish enough to make that same mistake again, though.

Yay, I am quite safe, all my projects are nested inside "~/Work"!!

did that oops recently and it deleted `~/VirtualBox VMs/` while `~/Code` survived.
