what a nice day.
The Android and WordPress ecosystems give off similar superstitious vibes. Remember when everyone was obsessed with registry cleaners and system optimizers?
It’s painful to realize that a program’s state is name spaced wrongly/scattered. You’ve then got to either accept the complexity or rewrite select portions + migrate to a more correct data hierarchy. Databases exist to make that easier.
Though, the simplest form of system administration is when you only have to backup/copy state directories from one computer to the next.
