I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
I find using "categorical" prefixes useful. For example, with git-flow, it checks for existing branches starting with (conventionally) hotfix/ to ensure you're not trying to start a second one without closing the first.
Helping individuals and teams improve their software development practices.
Introducing testing, test automation, CI, CD, pair programming. That neighborhood.
Yeah, putting some category name at the beginning of the branch-name and then using a slash to separate it from the rest of the name seems to be a nice practice. It gives the feeling of folder even if they are just names.
