Sure, zero-config one-click installs are nice and all, but:

STATSD_SAMPLE_RATE: (default: 1.0)

ENV['STATSD_SAMPLE_RATE'] = 1
config/initializers/statsd.rb:8:in `[]=': no implicit conversion of Integer into String (TypeError)

programmers can try to be aware of their configuration systems and the cognitive overhead they impose on people.

Another thing I don’t like: our asset behavior is decoupled from the assets. If you’re mucking around in your app/assets folder, then you have to first know that such a config exists, and then hunt it down in a totally different config folder. It would be nice if, while we’re working in asset land, we didn’t have to mentally jump around.

Not being cancelable makes validating dialog content impossible - eg a login dialog or anything that takes user input. Of course, it's easy enough to get around - but I think this should be a requirement of a dialog.

To silence circular dependencies warnings for let's say moment library use: // rollup.config.js import path from 'path' const onwarn = warning => { // Silence circular dependency warning for moment package if ( warning.code === 'CIRCULAR_DEPENDENCY' && !warning.importer.indexOf(path.normalize('node_modules/moment/src/lib/')) ) { return } console.warn(`(!) ${warning.message}`) }

Intercepting proxies are commonly used in businesses to enforce acceptable use policy, and to ease administrative overheads since no client browser configuration is required.

The concept of Convention over Configuration is impossible without sensible default values. The key word here is "sensible". The default values have to make sense for at least 80% (if not more) of all the uses of a library/service/framework.

The first rule of standard is no configuration. Whatever the outcome of this thread, adding options is the wrong solution.

The problem I have with this approach to state and prop variables is that the difference between them is very blurry. In React you can clearly see that a prop is an input to component (because of clear function notation), and that state is something internal. In Svelte they are both just variables, with the exception that props use export keyword.

Prettier borrows ESLint’s override format.

Prettier intentionally doesn’t support any kind of global configuration. This is to make sure that when a project is copied to another computer, Prettier’s behavior stays the same. Otherwise, Prettier wouldn’t be able to guarantee that everybody in a team gets the same consistent results.

(This, incidentally, is why the current 'zero-config' marketing fad is such nonsense: it really means 'abdicate the responsibility for config'. Instead of a single place where you can view all the build config in a structured, coherent form, you have the exact same amount of config but scattered around your project in lots of annoying files that are harder to understand.)

Enable the sub-chart The way we’ve chosen to implement compartmentalized sub-charts includes the ability to disable the components that you may not want in a given deployment. For this reason, the first setting you should decide on is enabled.

Have adopted CI best practices and are defining their CI/CD pipelines as code

This file that really does nothing but manage other project files is often called a “solution” in some environments.

[link](url){:target="_blank"} Works for jekyll or more specifically kramdown, which is a superset of markdown, as part of Jekyll's (default) configuration. But not for plain markdown. ^_^

klass_name - class name for "User" object. Defaults to User

AnyLogin.setup do |config| config.enabled = false end

If you really want to configure hundreds of ESLint rules individually, you can always use eslint directly with eslint-config-standard to layer your changes on top. standard-eject can help you migrate from standard to eslint and eslint-config-standard.

DevOps has taught us that the software development process can be generalized and reused for dealing with change not just in application code but also in infrastructure, docs and tests. It can all just be code.

CAC Isn’t Shipping Apps With Configs A shallow reading of configuration as code might lead you to add a configs folder to your release package and throw in the files. That approach would be wrong and dangerous. That solution means that a configuration change requires a release of the application. This meets the goal of adding an audit trail for configs but muddies the water by mixing them with code changes. If a new feature requires both a code and configuration change, this might make sense. But what if you’re only changing the configuration? What if you’re just increasing a cache setting in production?

Configuration as Code vs. Infrastructure as Code Some treat CAC and infrastructure as code (IAC) as the same thing. They’re not, and there’s a reason we have two distinct terms.

A zero-config development setup is provided, but nwb also supports configuration and plugin modules which add extra functionality (e.g. Sass support), should you need them

Create and build modern JavaScript applications with zero initial configuration

If you really want to be sure your customisation gets loaded first or last, you can use * as your before or after reference.

before and after also accept arrays of constraints.

Much like the configuration layer, we need to specify a name for this transformation. This will help other modules negotiate their priority over the injector in relation to yours.

Onivim 2 leverages the VSCode Extension Host process in its entirety - meaning, eventually, complete support for VSCode extensions and configuration.

File-relative configuration Babel loads .babelrc (and .babelrc.js / .babelrc.cjs / package.json#babel) files by searching up the directory structure starting from the "filename" being compiled (limited by the caveats below). This can be powerful because it allows you to create independent configurations for subsections of a package. File-relative configurations are also merged over top of project-wide config values, making them potentially useful for specific overrides, though that can also be accomplished through "overrides".

Setting up Nginx properly requires quite a bit of work. Using websockets or using Rails streaming? Make sure you disable response buffering for the relevant URIs, otherwise they won’t work correctly. Phusion Passenger 5’s builtin reverse proxy does the right thing by default, without any configuration. In other words: it’s all about making things simple.

picking one and sticking to it is far better than the chaos that ensues when everybody does their own thing

The closest thing to common ground may be events for configuration-management software like PuppetConf or ChefConf, or possibly re:Invent.
