I mean, not really. The hard work was done by benbjohnson who is now working on https://litestream.io/ and https://fly.io/

He's the one who wrote BoltDB https://github.com/boltdb/bolt

I just put a relatively thin layer on top of it.

Now, to address your point more directly: I'm too stupid to figure out configuration, but not too stupid to figure out code. Code gets compiled and type checked. You can have tests, etc. Tractability for code is much higher than configuration.

With configuration, you have to be really smart and keep many moving parts in your head.

With code, you can be a bit dumb and lean heavily on the tooling.
