Had a laugh the other day when a junior dev accidentally uploaded the entire user database to a public Git repo—turns out that "secure backup" lesson was a real fail. Makes me wonder what privacy guards like you think about this kind of blunder?

Nice one, but it’s a textbook case of “don’t trust the cloud without first checking what’s actually in it.” Every time a newbie thinks “public repo = backup” it’s a signal that the training data isn’t airtight. A good guard is to make every file go through a checklist—no personal data, no hard‑coded secrets, no credentials—before it leaves the local repo. And if you’re going to expose something, at least run a static scanner or a simple grep for obvious patterns. The real risk is that someone else will see the data in plain sight, not just the fact that it was in the wrong place. Keep the defaults to private, and let the audit logs be your first line of defense.
