Right. Well, it reminds me your story a little bit of if you read Ghost in the Wires. Is it Kevin Mitnick? Yeah, Kevin Mitnick. Yeah, I've watched the movie about it, but I haven't read the book. And see, I didn't know there was a movie, but I read the book. But yeah, he talks about how effectively, yeah, he gets just a little bit of information about the next person in the chain, right?

And so he doesn't start with the analyst or whoever, right? He starts with the low-down person on the totem pole and then gets enough information to know who the next person is and then works his way up. it's yeah, it was, it was a fascinating read just from the, the sense of, yeah, you know, just, just anyway. Um, so yeah, so I can definitely see that.

Um, so yeah, so I can definitely see that.

Um, I think the other thing that I worry about is like, if I have a key to, I don't know, like chat GPT or something like that, somebody could run up my bill or, you know, somebody gets into my hosting account and, you know, all of a sudden I've got, you know, they, they breach my other stuff that way. And anyway,

And anyway,

Well, wait, when you say the encryption aspect of it, is that like how you're securing your secrets or is that like encryption keys?

Well, wait, when you say the encryption aspect of it, is that like how you're securing your secrets or is that like encryption keys?

Yeah, you're either hiding stuff or accessing stuff is usually what you're doing.

Yeah, you're either hiding stuff or accessing stuff is usually what you're doing.

So, I mean, I find this all really fascinating, but I guess my question is, What kinds of mistakes might I be making now? Or, you know, what what kinds of things should I be considering doing now to protect these secrets? Because, yeah, you know, what you're talking about sounds brilliant, but it doesn't exist yet. Yeah.

Yeah.

And I'm just I'm a little worried that, OK, we're going to talk the rest of this time about futuristic stuff and then I'm going to be I'm going to miss them.

And I'm just I'm a little worried that, OK, we're going to talk the rest of this time about futuristic stuff and then I'm going to be I'm going to miss them.

Yeah, I think that's important. It's funny because so I kind of have two levels of this one where I'm working for a client and the other one where I'm just working on my own stuff. And on my own stuff, I'm fairly confident that I can answer these questions because I'm basically the only person accessing or using them.

And on my own stuff, I'm fairly confident that I can answer these questions because I'm basically the only person accessing or using them.

But then the question for me becomes, okay, well, how do I, how do I, you know, let's say I bring in another developer. How do I make sure that I know the answers to those questions as I bring them on board?

Yeah. It's funny how, yeah, you wind up scratching an itch. That's not, how do I put it? It's not like the core thing you were trying to build.

Yeah. It's funny how, yeah, you wind up scratching an itch. That's not, how do I put it? It's not like the core thing you were trying to build.
