Yeah sure, cause I know all my api keys
I always jerk off to them so I'd recognise those 4's, j's and slashes anywhere
Bro wtf?
Oh don't pretend like you don't too
Hello fellow programmers
if (bMeetingWithFriend == true) {std::cout >> "Where we meetin'?" >> std::endl;}
Is this… is this meme AI?
It has to be...
Yes and i only speak C++ with my friends
There was a crappy sci fi movie in the 90s where they go to Mars and they find a puzzle with "part of the human genome on it" and they solve it by completing it, which the scientists know offhand.
OPs understanding of how programmers work is just as dumb.
What? So from reading the comment section do you not instantly recognize your own api keys when you see them? How can y’all call yourselves programmers :(
/s
Totally normal to do
LE GitHub
Just don’t use 123 as the key… 🤷
U guys don't memorize ur api keys?
should've posted it to make sure nobody else was using it!
What X5BF was my favorite api key!
gotta be rage bait
Ah yes 'surfing through the GitHub' as one does...
And ofc "oh I know this string, it's my API Key". Happens all the time.
I assigned it to a variable that is my social security number so I could easily recognize it.
My key is just ASCII art of my bud's butthole, so I can tell at glance it's my API key.
Tbh if you remember just the first 3 letters there is a 1 in 200k chance that another api key will share those same letters. It may be more likely that you have accidentally leaked it.
Why would I remember the first three letters of my keys ? Are you reading them every night before going to bed?
Maybe one of those weirdos who always hand types everything instead of copy-and-pasting because “they’re a fast typer.”
Off topic, but this kind of mindset is a red flag when I’m working with juniors. Especially when their typing is worse than my only ok typing.
I had a coworker who complimented my typing speed by saying over the cubicle wall that he wanted to be able to code as fast as me.
I was writing a pissed-off email at the time.

I always remember dQw
If you're looking at something incredibly niche, I could see it.
There's an old game engine community I used to be active in, and I randomly found my own credentials in someone's codebase when helping them a year later because they copied code from someone who copied code from one of my dumped projects and nobody involved cleared the existing admin list, just appended themselves and their usernames below it.
Is.. it not normal to have an API key memorized? My application's API key is something I could very easily recognize
Fr I got no time to surf GitHub. Just give people the .exe file, smelly nerds.
Aaah nostalgia
As some says - doomscrolling GitHub
If you’re not surfing through the github at least 5 hours a day you can’t call yourself a developer. /s
I sometimes actually do that on GitHub Mobile> Explore...
Sometimes.
You ain't fooling us... you do that at least once a day don't you?
It’s just filled with ai agents now. It’s boring as shit. No fun hobby projects from a random guy across the world
Sometimes it’s fun to search commit histories that include the word “password” or “api key”
Just search “mongodb+srv://ai” if you want some free DBs to play around with 😉
Also, just replace ai with whatever is trending, like “vibe”, “crypto” or whatever
What, you guys don't regularly spend hours looking at random dead projects and adding stars to them?
Especially when I’m feeling burnt out with my current work
Well browsing it is good for finding underrated projects. I mainly use codeberg for browsing though because it tends to have higher quality projects.
