EpicEnv
(via)
Dan Goodman's tool for managing shared secrets via a Git repository. This uses a really neat trick: you can run epicenv invite githubuser and the tool will retrieve that user's public key from github.com/{username}.keys (here's mine) and use that to encrypt the secrets such that the user can decrypt them with their private key.
I think the mistake the industry has made is (and I had to learn this as well), that "we observed ab tests work really well" is really a statement that should read "the majority of the changes we make are characterized as hill-climbing growth of a post-PMF b2c product and ab tests work really well for that".
[On release notes] in our partial defense, training these models can be more discovery than invention. often we don't exactly know what will come out.
we've long wanted to do release notes that describe each model's differences, but we also don't want to give false confidence with a shallow story.
