Agree. But, recompilation is not the easiest thing in the world. It would be better if it was either written as script (no compilation needed) or storing its credentials in a text file (no recompilation needed, since the credentials are outside the binary). The latter would generally be good practice - for open-source apps, at least. Hard-coding is not the way to go.
Thank you. Best wishes.
