Regardless of how eloquently they describe the .envs "problem" I was completely thrown off by their "we're doing it better" conclusion at the end. And with zero explanations on how their service is any better.

I left the article questioning myself the validity of their previous claims, knowing that all along I was reading a self promotion piece. Left a sour taste in my mouth. A disclaimer at the top would have been the proper thing to do...

Exactly. This is an ad.

I actually agree that .env files are very bad, if only for the simple reason that it’s always bad to have secret information sitting unencrypted on a disk. But I was expecting a suggestion to fix this, not an ad (with next to no description of what their product does, even)
