Here's our take.

Hard Coded Values

Nice Pick

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

Configuration Files

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

The Verdict

Use Hard Coded Values if: You want g and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

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

The Bottom Line

Hard Coded Values wins

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