Hard Coded Calculations vs Environment Variables
Developers should avoid hard coded calculations in most scenarios, as they lead to brittle code that is hard to debug and update; instead, they should use parameterized values or configuration management meets developers should use environment variables to separate configuration from code, enhancing security by keeping sensitive data like passwords out of version control and enabling easy deployment across different environments (e. Here's our take.
Hard Coded Calculations

Hard Coded Calculations
Nice PickDevelopers should avoid hard coded calculations in most scenarios, as they lead to brittle code that is hard to debug and update; instead, they should use parameterized values or configuration management
Pros
- +However, in rare cases like prototyping, simple scripts, or performance-critical sections where values are truly constant and never change, minimal hard coding might be acceptable
- +Related to: configuration-management, software-maintainability
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Environment Variables

The Verdict
Use Hard Coded Calculations if: You want however, in rare cases like prototyping, simple scripts, or performance-critical sections where values are truly constant and never change, minimal hard coding might be acceptable and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Environment Variables if: You prioritize g over what Hard Coded Calculations offers.
