What sorts of processes related to secret storage were you able to shift off of team computers? From my perspective, if I need to get e.g. an API key from Twitter and put it into my prod environment, i have to be doing that with my computer somehow. There's still millions of different types of secrets that need meat puppets to shuffle them around.

Sure, but those meat puppets shouldn't be developers, they should be administrators, using proper procedures.

Separation of powers seems so fundamental yet also so totally ignored these days.
