Convention or configuration?
Discussion
Convention.
Convention all day long.
maven or ant?
yes
convention for me
Product or system?
Configuration
Configuration by picking options in a static set of parameters or configuration by writing arbitrary code that gets run and determines what happens?
Suckless style config.def.h
Minimal but well defined conventions, extended through configs
My favorite conferences are configuration conventions
Why not both...
Convention for sure
Convention 100%. Reduce the number of things to figure out. Also the standards are probably defined for good reasons.
