Dev who leaked his own .env via AI coding tool, got a $90,000 Google bill, gets roasted online

A screenshot captures AI-dev drama: developer JustLingon previously revealed that Opus 5.5-driven codex PUBLISHED his .env to Cloudflare Pages, leaking his API keys and landing him a $90,000 bill from Google. Days later he mocked others with "real devs dont use php," only to get bodied by @C99Chad quoting his own leak post back at him. Equal parts drama and a cautionary tale about never shipping .env files.
