No.

I don’t store any secrets locally. I store secrets in AWS Secrets Manager and then I get temporary access keys and set the appropriate environment variables that the AWS CLI and SDKs use automatically to retrieve them.

I usually have three terminal windows open when I’m developing these days - one where I run code that has the environment variable set and my code reads the secrets from Secrets Manager and a terminal window running Claude Code (company reimbursed) and one running Codex using my personal ChatGPT subscription.

In other words, AI agents don’t have access to any secrets.

As far as personal projects, in June will be my 30th anniversary of never writing code that someone isn’t paying me for and my 34th anniversary of never writing code I wasn’t getting paid for or a degree for.
