I create my .vimrc and .tmux.conf when I set up my machine or when I get annoyed at the defaults. I find the problem with "set and forget" kind of jobs is that you forget how to do something because someone else already did it for you, so you don't learn anything. It's similar to joining a complicated project where everything has been set up for you and all problems were solved and if you were to join a new project from day 1 you would have to learn everything again. (See setting up CI/CD, the structure of a java project, a gradle file, a maven POM, Dockerfiles, git, Kubernetes manifests and other devops tasks) You still need to learn how to do things. I want to be fluent in the tools I use, so I would rather do things from memory.
