"Hmm, pinfile? I thought everyone standardized on lockfile..."

yo
@steveklabnik you ever seen anyone get confused by this? -
I've seen people claim that they expected that people would be confused (cough
@littlecalculist) but not in practice. -
in what way? which .lock file goes with which project or something? (I guess that means "no")
-
ppl think (incorrectly imo) it conflicts w/ the "well known" Unix convention of .lock for file locks
-
oh, lol. i have been using linux for years and didn't know that. so.
-
my initial experience was colored by a couple things…
-
1. don't know what software (maybe emacs?) used visible .lock files and whenever it crashed they'd lie around…
-
so my lizard brain pattern matched .lock file as "something went wrong and my directory is in a broken state"…
