    I had a new employee ask me what I meant when I used the word directory. They had never heard ‘directory’ used in that context. It has only been known as a folder to some people.

    So tell me, what do you call the object drawn in this picture, taken from a popular Linux operating system?

    A picture of a folder icon from Ubuntu

    Say my name.

      I feel like the only people who actually care are the type who wrap their entire personality around which OS they use

    I use both terms. If I’m accessing it from a GUI, it’s a folder. From the command line, it’s a directory.
