I got a feeling "hardcoded" repeating code is underrated. I work in a code base right now that has alot of configs floating in from everywhere and functions taking function arguments with deep call tree. I just wish there was long crappy linear functions with inline configs so that I could search this mess and see line by line what it did without having to keep so much in my head. Maybe it was easier to write but it sure as hell is harder to read ...

Agree. In c++, I really like the JUCE editor exactly because of this. You have a GUI to configure things and it's stored as an xml config, but it'll also autogenerate a header for you with all the constant things hardcoded. In my opinion, that provides one huge advantage that Java currently lacks: you can use tools like ReSharper to statically analyze control flow, find uninitialized variables or unused branches, etc.
