I agree with this, but there are ways to make your “source code” not a file that you will modify.
For instance you can have a file that’s imported/included for configuration purposes that you yourself don’t author… And I think that’s okay.
One of my favorite configuration languages for Python projects is actually just Python. It’s remarkably nice. It’s like having a YAML file you can script.
The line between configuration is very messy anyways. So many projects abuse YAML as a domain specific language. Looking at you, HomeAssistant and ESPHome!
