Here's our take.

Configuration Files

Nice Pick

Developers should learn and use configuration files to manage application settings, environment-specific variables, and deployment configurations, enabling consistent behavior across different environments (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: json, yaml

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Hard Coded Values

Developers should learn about hard coded values to understand when they are appropriate, such as for mathematical constants (e

Pros

• g
• Related to: configuration-management, environment-variables

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Configuration Files if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Hard Coded Values if: You prioritize g over what Configuration Files offers.

The Bottom Line

Configuration Files wins

Developers should learn and use configuration files to manage application settings, environment-specific variables, and deployment configurations, enabling consistent behavior across different environments (e
