Both in my professional work and mow my own projects I’ve seen Claude makde huge complicated CONFIG loader routines. Wouldn’t it be great if I could load configuration from the environment just as I unmarshal a JSON structure. The code would be so much easier to read and maintain.
So I’ve done just this at https://github.com/m0rjc/goconfigtools.
I’m adding capabilities to custom validate and, I expect, custom marshal values. This will give very nice compact configuration for my Kubernetes projects both at home and at work.
As an aside – Claude didn’t understand that you could add a varags parameter to a method without breaking existing clients. This explains why goaitools has methods like NewClientWithOptions() rather than just NewClient() with the additional varargs.
