Yeah, I think with the "share everything" mentality and everyone building everything in reusable jS snippets (thus, the huge repositories of code and duplicated projects); the general share of people forget that some people still code...for themself. And that those projects don't necessarily have a simple "settings.toml" to edit for paths or settings; nor the tons of effort that goes into making such a project configurable in the first place.

And there's nothing wrong with that. Like the dozens of PoC codebases I have lying around my PC that no one will (or needs to) ever see.
