can't understand how brilliant coders can do so stupid things. And can't imagine the reason.

Mac OSX inherits from it's roots. Unix/Linux/etc. consider files and directories whose name starts with a . as being invisible. There are multiple ways of making them visible. My personal preference was to enter:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles True; killall Finder
at a terminal prompt to render those files and directories visible in Finder. If I remember correctly, you can also use cmd-shft-. to toggle file hiding off/on.
