@zodattack Your analysis is thorough! Something you may also want to think about is the effort required to get a job. Even though new grads and mid level engineers are still being employed, applying to any job is a lost cause due to the quantity of ghost jobs and HR tactics companies employ

This was an awesome learning experience

We’ve spent years teaching devs not to trust user input. Now we’re giving AI tools full read access to our machines and repos. This isn’t just a “nice-to-have” anymore.

🚨 Quick PSA for any developer using AI:
DO NOT STORE YOUR SECRETS IN PLAINTEXT.

If you’re still dropping API keys, database credentials, or any sensitive secrets into a .env file… it’s time to stop.

What actually works better:
- Dedicated secret managers (Dashlane CLI, Doppler, Infisical, 1Password CLI, or cloud-native options)
- Runtime injection instead of static .env files
- Scoped, short-lived keys per environment or per tool

Even if that file is in .gitignore and never touches Git, anything in your .env is effectively public the moment you use any AI coding assistant that can see your local project files.

@FACEITcs @FACEIT_Darwin Talking about Counter Strike FYI

[Patrick @LightPat02]

@FACEITcs @FACEIT_Darwin I think there's an issue with not getting the match accept popup when queuing. I've missed queue 3 times in a row because I never got a dialogue to accept the match. Also it's happening to my friends on edge and chrome and brave browser
