...and that would be where an unintended keyboard-seeking Odin attack
preemptively initiates a half-thought thought. It's hard to get upset
at this face, though. https://i.imgur.com/c7tktmO.jpg

To that point, projects like Chef have made use of encrypted secrets
since more or less the dawn of time, but not at all in a portable way.
Continuing the work to bring secrets under a single focus is something
that I would also be a part of, with or without being on the TC.

In both of these efforts, I envision having some manner of involvement
no matter what. At the strategic level, working to ensure the
disparate efforts are in alignment is where I would gravitate to.
