DotFiles

In the beginning the Dot File was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move.

Legend goes, that dotfiles were invented when ls used to skip files and directories starting with a . (dot). As a result, files that begin with such a character were not shown when listing using ls — i.e. it was a "hidden" file. Since dotfiles are ususually user-specific, a predestined place for them is the $HOME directory.

This, at a high level, is what we are dealing with. But it's not the whole story. We're really talking about investments of time into configuring various tools and software.

Some of these things are very light configurations and some of these can take months.

I'm looking at you Neovim...
