Updating a constant versus a config parameter isn’t all that different if the build is fast.
Not even remotely true except that in both cases you change a number in some text file. If you do it in source code, you have to get the source code, you have to identify the correct line[s], you need a build environment, you might have to reinstall the new version after the build. And on top of this you want to involve a language model in this. The difference in complexity, effort, and resource consumption is orders of magnitude. And we are not even considering that you will have to go through this for each future version to keep your modification included. This is an insane way to change a font size.

- danbruc 2mo agoJust run a full-text search on the old value. How often does 10 appear in the code base? And is the value you are looking for even 10 or does only the UI show 10 points but in code it is defined as 200 twip?
