I'm “still afraid to use spaces in file names” years old
I work on a complex desktop application, and it's been astounding the number of bugs that have appeared over the years triggered by spaces and other unusual characters in file names. If you do anything with subprocesses or path processing, it's absurdly easy to hit in a thousand different ways, over and over again.Pro tip: rename your development directory (or even better: the workspace path in CI) to put a space and/or special characters in it.Forces you to deal with this properly, and immediately ensures that every automated test checks this case without you having to remember every time. Hasn't been particularly inconvenient, since I'm autocompleting it 99% of the time anyway, and I haven't shipped a single path parsing bug since.
