    Passwords and lotsa creds. I know an infra engineer who stores all of the keys to the projects he’s involved in his message to self Slack. When I asked him about it he told me ‘when I found out that the company billed my time 5x my salary to clients I stopped caring’ and I was like OK that’s fair ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Depends. Our engineering slack (Few thousand members) doesn’t contain secrets for a few reasons:

      1. Secret scanning
      2. We have a /secret bot that will take your secret, store it securely, and then present a GUI for each person with access to display that secret “for just that person”. And then after a set period of time it’s made inaccessible, and wiped from the infra.
      3. Training and knowledge transfer on secret security

      This has been incredibly effective. Especially the secret bot.

      Turns out that the problem with people sharing secrets is just a matter of convenience. If you make a secure way convenient then everyone tends to just use it by default.
