Same. I think one of the issues is that one(both?) of the arguments doesn't accept relative paths (the target?) So if you `ln -s ./foo ~/bar/foo` from the target folder you get an infinite loop and it's just so confusing

Just pretend it’s a cp. Then you always get the argument order right.

That doesn't fix the relative path thing

Yeah, I just never use relative paths with ln. Symbolic links are so badly designed :(
