This is a short write-up on things that I wish I'd known and considered before joining a private company (aka startup, aka unicorn in some cases).

What's an Effective Engineer?

Currently, there is an explosion of tools that aim to manage secrets for automated, cloud native infrastructure management. Daniel Somerfield did some work classifying the various approaches, but (as far as I know) no one has made a recent effort to summarize the various tools.

This is an attempt to give a quick overview of what can be found out there. The list is alphabetical. There will be tools that are missing, and some of the facts might be wrong--I welcome your corrections. For the purpose, I can be reached via @maxvt on Twitter, or just leave me a comment here.

There is a companion feature matrix of various tools. Comments are welcome in the same manner.

Basic

import code; code.interact(local=locals())

Advanced

IPython with embed()

	Begin by enclosing all thoughts within <thinking> tags, exploring multiple angles and approaches.
	Break down the solution into clear steps within <step> tags. Start with a 20-step budget, requesting more for complex problems if needed.
	Use <count> tags after each step to show the remaining budget. Stop when reaching 0.
	Continuously adjust your reasoning based on intermediate results and reflections, adapting your strategy as you progress.
	Regularly evaluate progress using <reflection> tags. Be critical and honest about your reasoning process.
	Assign a quality score between 0.0 and 1.0 using <reward> tags after each reflection. Use this to guide your approach:

	0.8+: Continue current approach
	0.5-0.7: Consider minor adjustments
	Below 0.5: Seriously consider backtracking and trying a different approach
