This is someone with decades of real world experience with files and folders, and in their real world experience, there's only ever three levels of nesting, a manila in a pendaflex in a drawer.</p><p>Even the suggestion that drawers are nested in cabinets is enough to derail understanding.</p><p>Another, that files exist independent of the program that created them. Trying to find a PDF file after using the scanner, and confused that it doesn't turn up, because they've tried to find it via the Open File dialog in Word. "That is how I get to my files."</p>

<p>to be clear, when a recruiter, manager, or ceo says someone is a "genius programmer" or "10x" or similar</p><p>they mean "someone who works 80 hour weeks and we only pay them for 40" </p><p>every time</p>

I think the metaphors are still useful because they are *some kind of concept* that gets reused. It has a name and its use within the software is helpful because the software, at least, is consistent about its meaning, even if it's otherwise a pure floating signifier</p>
