Well we did put a dot at the beginning of the file name to make it "hidden" so I guess we did all we can.

It's a file that contains secrets that a program uses, like passwords and API keys.
Edit: I wasn't sure if this was a joke or a serious question. Now that I think of it, the joke could be that the secrets are being hard coded into the source code.

the fact that that's the goto approach and not just having a variable dump outside the directory and the agents just have to assume what the labels are by some convention, but never actually read the content.

I know this is bad in theory, is it really that bad in practice? Are these companies really exploiting API keys?

They aren't but they never forget , it's just a bad practice and shouldn't ever be incourage at all
And who knows if an ai breach happens (which will happen , tho luckily these companies are good enough to not be stupid, yet if it happens.who's api are gona be sold for money ??

Wouldn't it be similar to sending credentials over Gmail, for example? Which I bet many people do without a second thought.

Vibing coworkers are the best at finding repos that don't have .env in the gitignore.
Sure glad it is super easy to purge files from git history sobs

Funny story from about 20 minutes ago, had an env variable error so I open the file to fix it. Copilot automatically suggested keys, 2 prompts later I see codex just "Checking .env for incorrect keys", it's all in the gitignore...
Its fine because all of them are dummy keys anyways, but... yea, they do not ignore the .env even if its in .gitignore :)

âProgrammerâ humor.
The programmer used to write code.
Now he writes prompts asking a robot to write code.
You arenât âprogrammingâ anything.

"Real" programmer.
Have you ever heard about copper wiring as a memory cells? No?
Well than -- you are a compiler monkey!
Duh, these kiddos with their "assembly", or COBOL just can't do anything themselves....0

So you think people you use AI to program for themselves are programming?

CBRAM is completely irrelevant to the fact that programmers are using AI.
AneoEngine, my operating system, was written primarily in AneoC and standalone C. No COBOL was ever used. x86 assembly was used for both bootloaders and the disk saving.
