  • I yearn to be free

    To plant a tall tree

    Or maybe five or fifty

    A greener world would be nifty

    /

    Power corrupts

    So why should we bother

    With coups so abrupt

    And Dictator Father?

    /

    Yet democracy still

    Gives me a chill

    Tyranny of the masses

    Why the rose colored glasses?

    /

    Corporate greed

    Is not immune

    From society’s bleed

    Into authoritarian noon

    /

    So what, then? A king?

    Or anarchy’s kiss?

    How do we give up the bling?

    Live a life full of bliss?

    /

    The truth lies inside

    The life we observe

    Is the one that we chose

    And thus, what we deserve

    /

    If we want to be free

    Change from a few’s not enough

    Not just a million and three

    But collectively, all of us







  • Yeah, or just continue to have two separate config files.

    My team is in a bit of a different situation as we are cloud hosted but I suspect it’s a similar approach. We have secrets hosted in AWS and our config file just references the secret name. We then have a SecretReader utility in our code which we reference to pull the secret from AWS at runtime, that way it doesn’t show up as plaintext in our code. Our CI/CD doesn’t touch the secret at all in that use case – we only use secrets in our CI/CD if there is a step such as connecting to a DB that is part of our pipeline.
