Centralized Configuration and I18n: Strictly Forbid AI Magic Values and Hardcoded Parameters
AI (Artificial Intelligence) has a very common problem when writing code: It loves to “hardcode things on a whim.” timeout = 30 max_retries = 3 model = "qwen3:14b" raise ValueError("User does not exist") Individually, there’s nothing fundamentally wrong with any of these lines. But when dozens of modules each have their own 30, 3, model names, and prompt text, maintainers start getting headaches: What do these values mean? Where should they be changed? What happens when switching environments? How do we support English? Therefore, AI programming projects should establish a clear architectural rule upfront: Values with business significance, environment-specific differences, or user-visible meaning are not allowed to be scattered across business code. This problem is primarily addressed through two mechanisms: Centralized Configuration + I18n (Internationalization). ...
