I treat our Slack as if I'm checking a social network and I can't tell if that's a good or bad thing

I like it! Most software could benefit from a bit more humanity/fun

The Culture Is in the Code Review Someone once told me that a companyโ€™s culture isnโ€™t defined by your HR department or your C-suite - itโ€™s defined by how we show up and treat each other every day. Itโ€™s built in the small, daily intera...

Iโ€™ve heard a few AI optimists claim that code generation tools will eventually render many Software Engineers into Product Managers. ๐Ÿค” As someone whoโ€™s been in both roles, that doesnโ€™t sit right with me. Software Engineer minus coding does not equal Product Manager.

What do you think?

Nice! This is such a fun build.

Did you check out the pink blossoms? Those pink frogs are such a quirky approach to this set - I love it ๐Ÿ˜

It's early days, but I'm already using it to solve regular pain points in my day-to-day ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ป Right now it only supports #aws Secrets Manager, but Azure KeyVault is well underway.

If you've been looking for a solution to the same problem, I'd love to get feedback on the idea!

It completely removes static secrets from your workflow - keeping your secrets locked up tight, and making .env files safe to share across your team (which simplifies _so_ much). Even better, it doesn't require changing a single line of code and works for any application ๐Ÿ˜Ž.

GitHub - runsecret/rsec: RunSecret CLI RunSecret CLI. Contribute to runsecret/rsec development by creating an account on GitHub.

I've been looking for a simpler and more secure way to work with secrets during local development across my team. Couldn't find one, so I'm building an open source, vault-agnostic tool that does just that! Calling it RunSecret (github.com/runsecret/rsec).

Thatโ€™s right! The approach 1password for Teams takes actually inspired me, but unfortunately it seems that most teams arenโ€™t using 1password for their application secret vault.

How are you safely managing secrets for local development? In my experience the git ignored .env file is the most common pattern, whichโ€ฆ leaves a lot to be desired.

I think Iโ€™ve got a better way, but want to make sure Iโ€™m not missing something already out there ๐Ÿ˜

Mostly the type system! In the age of Rust, Typescript, and even mypy, Goโ€™s type system feels barely passable. Where are my Unions and Optionals?! ๐Ÿ˜…
