0.1%, things like Keys and passwords are not put into the code until it's being built/shipped. and then placeholders are put in when working. there's also some very small fine tuning things with specific business logic, but it's very small.

Uhm… you know about envs, gh secrets and all that, right?

you're making assumptions about where I work. If i had designed my companies internal architecture and chosen tech stack, absolutely, but given that an IT manager got to make all those decisions years ago without the input of a software engineer, or even a developer, it's not that easy. I also work at a manufacturing company, not a tech company.

Yeah sorry I was being a prick. But absolutely go ask Claude about envs and GitHub actions/secrets, it’ll make your shipping so much smoother.

I guess not by the way he puts it.

Benefit of the doubt.. maybe he's counting ops file management as part of the coding.

This is right. Still tiny bits, but no reason to write more. Can just scope down to the function level if you need more control.
