  • What helps a lot for apps with multiple config files:

    • if you tell the user to “add code xy to the config file” : tell me which file. is it the main config file? the one of the reverse proxy etc.?
    • provide a sensible example library of the config structure. For example: duting the implementation of an importer for beancount I was struggling with what goes where. The example structure was really, really helpful.
    • also, if you have configurations which allow different options: TELL ME THE OPTIONS! If I get an error during startup, that for config.foo the value “bar” is not allowed, I need a list of options somehwere, so many hours lost to find out what I can write to config.foo










  • True, but usually you buy them from retailers… This way they cut out the middleman. And the chance that you use 3rd party inks (although, that “security risk” got patched with firmware upgrades)

    Also, they don’t just send you ink… It’s a monthly plan where you have x pages included. Unused pages are rolled over 3 times [1] and afterwards they probably are just lost.

    Further, if you cancel the subscription, containers you received within the subscription wont work anymore.

    Damn, I knew it was bad, but now that I read the details it’s even worse…
