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 genuinely do not like apps using environment variables for config if they aren’t running in their own contained environment. It makes me uncomfortable.
