Usually people say “premature optimization is the root of all evil” to say “small optimizations are not worth it”

No, that’s not what people mean. They mean measure first, then optimize. Small optimizations may or may not be worth it. You don’t know until you measure using real data.

I just use ~/.ssh/config

e.g.

Host website
    Hostname some.hostname.foo
    User bob
    Port 1500

Underrated by who? Who the hell is rating these things anyway?
