Forget Flags and Scripts: Just Rename the File

Programs usually get input from flags or scripts. But there’s another way: a program can read its own filename. That means the entire configuration can live in the file name itself, making programs self-contained, portable, and instantly shareable. Flags are ephemeral – you have to share the command line or wrap it in a script. Scripts depend on environment, which can break portability. ...
