  This article is an ad.
  
  Reminds me of one site that said I shouldn't use 'git secret' because reasons. I've spent quite some time to find what do they propose to use instead (that wasn't as straightforward as in this article), turns out they provide a 'solution' that includes their partners' system to manage secrets. Another bullshit, in other words

I'm not loosely coupled at all, sir, I am married!
All code today is coupled to complex ecosystems which may thrive or perish later. There are no good solutions which can be given out as generic advice.

And even specific solutions to any tech stack can be hit or miss. Time kills all projects unless they are run in a frozen environment which itself keeps up with the times, constantly
