About YAML, I like YAML too, only not so much for 5K+ configuration lines.

About "Cognitive load being rarely considered", I meant it in actual project work, not in the sense that the idea of applying cognitive psychology to programming is new.

I am sure the topic has been considered in an academic setting. I would not feel qualified to provide a good reading list on the topic.

This is also related to code quality, thus it will have a ton of relevant work.

Thank you for the links, in particular to Skelton, Pais, I will have a look!

Hi, it is the author here.

My coworker told me that my post is being discussed in Hacker News, I did not know! It will take me some time to digest what was said here. It looks like a lot of good discussion. Thank you!
