why is the gitlab-ci.yaml lumped in here? that's got nothing to do with the JS ecosystem. I can see why it'd be annoying to have all these files but it's because each tool for the most part does one thing. I'd rather a set of tools that can be switched out whenever then be stuck with a single tool forever because it's to difficult to switch out.
More generally so much damned config as a dev to deal with
The number of layers of leaky abstractions that have to be understood and managed is too damn high. 
yeah for sure. i understand that. i think all the tools should have an init command to make a "good enough" config from the start. or just don't allow config. like prettier initially didn't really have any config. that was the point.
Yeah fuck prettier. Let’s go back to linking to a style guide in the readme that everyone will definitely study thoroughly and follow to a t.

I get it though.
I didn't build this hell. I just work here.
