After one shorting my old blog away from Wordpress I’ve written my first post in a while. Don’t store secrets in your env https://t.co/6RrswBvrKO

Sometimes you suggest features without expecting them to materialize, but @crunchydata emails you a few weeks later to say they’ve implemented it. At this rate, I’m going to sound like their biggest fan!

[Steve Smith @scsmith]

@craigkerstiens @crunchydata Ha, you’re not imagining it. We moved CloudMailin a few years back and it’s been perfect ever since. This was a smaller project / company and I was just blown away by how easily I created an account, added billing and migrated in just a few minutes.

[Steve Smith @scsmith]

If you're ever thinking of moving to @crunchydata just do it! Migrated a project from Heroku to crunchy data in literally minutes and it's now faster (and cheaper)

@HMRCcustomers @ArtBriony @HMRCcustomers it looks like one of your software developers has made a mistake. Attempting to sign in redirects to localhost (which is your local computer used for development). You can sign in by going direct to https://t.co/hyGL5Xo1Hi though Briony

@TechZacht @vercel @doppler @doppler look’s very interesting indeed! I think it will take some time to get my brain to accept trusting secrets to a third party but I can definitely see the benefits too. Especially the ease of rotation etc.

[Steve Smith @scsmith]

First time deploying to @vercel and what an awesome experience. It's the little things... e.g. you can copy your env file into the environment variables and it automatically parses and sets each one for you.

@TheBuilderJR @noahwbragg @FlurlyApp @stripe We’ve tried to report abuse to stripe previously and had nothing but problems. I’m sorry this has happened to you. They really need a process to recognise that you went to them!

I got fed up of updating the CI whenever the ruby version changed, it's in the Gemfile anyway:

`rvm use `cat Gemfile | grep '^ruby' | sed 's/ruby \"~>\(.*\)\"/\1/'` --install`

[Steve Smith @scsmith]

The last few weeks has been brutal for software developers I’m sorry for those affected. In the flip side I’m pretty excited to see the new era of startups that appear out of this round of layoffs

[Steve Smith @scsmith]

I know a lot of people are in the process of moving free apps from Heroku but this quick script can help determine the OpenSSL version in use for your apps: ` heroku apps:table --owned --columns='app name' | sed '1d' | xargs -n1 -I{} heroku run openssl version -a {}`

[Steve Smith @scsmith]

@Caius Yeah. That’s kinda the issue isn’t it. Production is less feasible (all of that and lack of things like http/2) and free is now gone.

[Steve Smith @scsmith]

So what do we think about the Heroku news? Is this going to help or is it time to move on? Interesting in perspectives from Hobby apps and production.

Love that @inc picked @mailchimp as company of the year! Half a billion in revenue, profitable, based in Atlanta, and never took a dime of VC 😍 https://t.co/0LoYIFjMz2

Having to debug tools to help debug tools. I’m in some sort of weird developer ‘inception’.
