I think it’s generally agreed upon that large files that change often do not belong while small files that never change are fine. But there’s still a lot of middle ground where the answer is not so clear to me.
So what’s your stance on this? Where do you draw the line?
I’ll go to quite a bit of effort to avoid them. Arguably too much effort, but I often find that the path that avoids them is also useful in other ways.
For example, for a personal project, I automated rendering a PNG fallback icon from an SVG, so now I can have as many different resolutions as I want and don’t need to manually update them, if I want to tweak the icon.
I’d also like to publish a screenshot of the project. The simple solution is to check a PNG into the repo and link it in the README.md. But what would be a lot nicer, is to set up a project webpage, which with Codeberg Pages isn’t even that much effort, but I would have less motivation to do it otherwise.
