Apple's chip-fab options, branding the 20th-anniversary iPhone, Terminal and Xcode preferences, and some very special filenames.

Somehow — even when no Time Machine activity was happening — the hard drive would constantly be grinding away doing God knows what.

It is awful how expensive SSDs are now, but they are so much better for Time Machine than a hard drive.

Stating it corrupts itself regularly is a very strange thing to conclude, even with anecdata. Even more so given the often praised cloning alternatives use the same mechanisms.

You don't exclude individual node_modules folders; you exclude your entire ~/Developer directory. Everything in there is either clonable from a public repo, a scratch project you don't care if you lose, or an important project pushed to a remote.

I like it fine, because I like them, but it doesn’t really add anything.
