I wholeheartedly agree with this blog post. I believe someone on here yesterday was asking about config file locations and setting them manually. This is in the same vein. I can’t tell you how many times a command line method for discovering the location of a config file would have saved me 30 minutes of googling.

    I think this is a drawback of not having more specialized communities in beehaw yet - I’m not sure if this advice is very niche advice or if it has some value in general awareness for the layperson?

    Normally I’d look up and see “r/DevChat” or some such distinct community name and have immediate context of, “that’s not really for you to figure out”. But this is essentially “r/technology” so I’m left wondering if I personally can take anything of value from this post.

    Not a criticism or complaint, just an observation.
