There’s some discussion at my place of work about standardizing directory and file naming conventions.
On one hand – verbose but descriptive paths are easy to remember and SEO friendly.
The other argument is that typing a long url – especially one that might require using a shift key – is really hard to do on a table or phone, or for those who have impaired motor skills.
Personally I think I’ve typed a url longer than a domain name on a phone or tablet only a handful of times . We have about 15 developers, and very large sites – most of which require breadcrumbs. So I think making file and directory names descriptive is more important than making them easy to type.
Just wondering what others here think.
Thanks!
