The awkward silence that follows is the sound of every security best practice dying simultaneously. Sure, the bug is fixed, but at what cost? Those credentials are now immortalized in OpenAI's training data, probably sitting next to someone's Social Security number and a recipe for chocolate chip cookies. Time to rotate every single key, update the docs, and pretend this conversation never happened. The best part? It actually worked.
