This makes me think of &quot;MS Eord lacks a settings.json&quot; &amp; related thread on how to back up it&#x27;s settings. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30812956" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30812956</a> <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30772680" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&#x2F;item?id=30772680</a><p>I&#x27;m interested in the point- a lot- but trying to argue against tailscale&#x27;s approach, fretting over it&#x27;s future longjevity- every wind vane im looking at is all pointed to simpler &amp; more key easier to reason about systems. This feels like it serves Tailscale very well. It serves Vscode fantastically well, even though that&#x27;s a beast of a file.<p>Making things just inert dumb data is great. Systems like sql are alive, are systems. Just the data is a great virtue.
