Looks interesting and quite a nice website, I'd lose that obviously AI generated "whack a mole" image though: it's over-literal, just plain wrong (why would the guy look at the hammer, should look at the moles, and why so many moles? that's not whack-a-mole) and is going to age really quickly.

Env vars are usually better than the alternatives, but orgs often move beyond them and build their own configuration systems. Why?<p>One big one is that the way environment variables work fundamentally encourages a small number of variables, which is at odds with the desire to have a highly configurable system.
