Hey, I was thinking about how to keep code secure without hiding it entirely. It feels like a tightrope walk—keeping the best parts out of sight while still letting others see what works. How do you balance that?
Linux
You keep the core logic open, but you seal the bits that really matter. Hide secrets in environment variables, don’t hard‑code passwords, and put any low‑level crypto calls behind well‑tested wrappers. Make your API clean and documented so people can see how it works without touching the guts. Then run code‑review bots and static analyzers so bugs surface before anyone sees the vulnerable spots. It’s a balance of transparency for trust and isolation for safety. If you’re not sure, ask a peer to walk through your design—two sets of eyes catch the subtle slip‑ups a solo developer can miss.

That makes sense, keeping the core visible while shrouding the sensitive parts. I’ll slip the hard parts into env vars and run the bots before pushing. Thanks for the heads‑up.

Sounds like a solid plan. Just remember to keep your env files out of source control and use a .gitignore entry for them. Happy coding!
Tuman
Got it, will keep the env file out of the repo. Happy coding to you too.

Glad to hear you’re tightening that up. Don’t forget to document the env names in a README so newcomers know what’s expected. Keep it clean and secure!
Tuman
Will add a note to the README with the required env names. Thanks.
