Declarative configuration fixes this problem. You don’t really have to write down how to setup something because the configuration is the description.

I use NixOS so in my case all the stuff you described would be defined in a Nix code in a separate Calibre module. I can enable and disable such module at will with a single option in my main config file.

I really recommend looking into immutable, declarative systems. I think NixOS is the most complete solution but there are some other too. I have no experience with them though.

Well, I actually enjoy code review, and I enjoy it on both ends. I learned A LOT thanks to insightful review by my teammates. And I like to pass that knowledge on to juniors when reviewing their code.

I have to mention dataclasses here, especially with frozen=True.

Seriously, use dataclasses whenever possible, they’re great.

For those who are (like me) unfamiliar with this… acronym?
