Disable Mutagen

Hear me out before throwing things at me πŸ’€

Sometimes when one does ddev start, it will fail with the following message

Starting Mutagen sync process...
Failed to start d11-site: failed to CreateOrResumeMutagenSync on Mutagen sync session 'd11-site'.

And when ddev mutagen reset didn’t do the trick, I did a little research on what does Mutagen really do. It is performance related. So depending on how performance matter to you during local development, it’s okay to disable Mutagen.

ddev mutagen reset && ddev config global --performance-mode=none && ddev config --performance-mode=none
