At the top is a code editor showing .env, package.json, and index.js tabs, with code that logs API_KEY from process.env. To the right is a tweet screenshot that says 'Cursor steals your dev creds,' with a red arrow pointing at it. At the bottom, bold red text reads '.ENV IS BAD' against a purple background.

Bright thumbnail image featuring a surprised clarkio on the left side, with wide eyes and open mouth. The background is a vibrant mix of purple and pink hues with binary code pattern. Bold text at the top reads 'SPEC DRIVEN DEVELOPMENT' in blue and white. On the right, a UI screenshot shows two options: 'Vibe' and 'Spec,' with the 'Spec' option highlighted, which says 'Plan first, then build. Create requirements and design before coding starts.' A red arrow points to the highlighted option.
