I think its absolutely okay and valid approach if it's a personal project. Then the only pain you'll receive there will be one of your own doing.😆 But when working with others I wouldn't advise others to "not get hung up on structure". I think that kind of mindset is a gateway to start writing legacy code that nobody wants to touch in the future because messy/sticky/non-comprehensive.
How’s it going, I'm a Adam, a Full-Stack Engineer, actively searching for work. I'm all about JavaScript. And Frontend but don't let that fool you - I've also got some serious Backend skills.

My point is iteration is superior to perfection and organisation that will change countless times in the beginning, why don’t you as an experiment write a todo list in a flat structure with no folders, and then explain where the folders start to be needed, that would be an interesting post no?
Not really following your thread there. Anyway - all I know is that if I had to work with someone who had zero care in the matter, I'd be worried about the impact that developer's code would have as far as maintainability goes. But you do you! I'm honestly not here to argue. I just felt it was important to point out another perspective. Hope you have a nice day!
