Me and co-worker, working with firebase.

Co-worker: Hey man, I need the private key for the server.

Me: Why?

Co-worker: I need to put it in the client so that I can authenticate.

Me: No.

Co-worker: But this guide tells me ...

Me: No

Co-worker: ... that I need it to create tokens so I can log in.

Me: ... No.

Co-worker: But the guide..

Me: If the guide would ask you to kill yourself, would you?

Co-worker: No but..

*I walk over*

Me: This isn't even related to what we are doing. You can see it in the title.

Me: Did you read the title of this post?

Co-worker: No.

    What part of private key is confusing to your coworker?

    @QueenMorgana "private"

    Then again, this is privacy on todays internet. But normally it goes the other way around, the company knows everything about the client.

    Your username seems to suit better on your co-worker

    Well the first time we did firebase my friends were doing the same because they read on a blog that the firebase config is not supposed to be private rather than you have to make strict rules.
    And I proved 'em wrong

    @vidu You're talking about the real time database right?

    To clarify, we were working with Auth. But yeah, the point still stands.

    Sounds like a waste of a teachable moment.
