I stumbled upon Fogus’ The best things and stuff of 2017 and thought I should do something similar. Before I pick any favorites for the last year, I wanted to see what type of things I worked on in 2017, so I hit the git logs for a list of all the files that I commited between january 1, 2017 and December 31, 2017. From that list, I aggregated a list of all the file extensions, 14 in total.

Work

• .java
• .clj

• .sql

• .sh

• .bat

• .csv
• .xlsx
• .impex
• .xml
  • data
  • spring.xml
  • items.xml
  • build.xml
• .feature
• .project
• .ini
• .properties
• .jar

I have grouped these files by more of a meta type like programming languages or data etc. and separated the xml files since data files are different from ant build files or spring configurations.

I should probably point out that the only reason .feature files are included is because I cleaned up some old Cucumber test expermiments that had been commited in the past.

Outside of Work

• .clj
• .cljs
• .java
• .markdown
• .yml
• .txt
• .dia
• .jpg
• .png
• .json
• .html
• .js

Twelve file types were changed for projects outside of work with 10 of those 12 not part of the work list. I almost forgot about the Clojure Help Chrome Extension which added some of the most common file types around: html, js, and json

I won’t try to attribute any meaning to these lists, but will likely refer back to them when I do the full year wrapup.
