Summary

I've tried out the latest tutorial on how to create a custom Chrome extension to fetch secrets from Vault, and it was an interesting exercise. As the first engineer on the Vault Developer Experience team, I was eager to gain hands-on experience with this tutorial and understand the pain points that developers might face when working with Vault. The tutorial provided a clear and concise guide on how to create a basic Chrome extension that can fetch secrets from Vault using the `vault` command-line tool. By following along with this tutorial, I gained a deeper understanding of the potential use cases for custom Chrome extensions in conjunction with Vault, such as securely storing sensitive data or providing a secure way to access configuration variables. Overall, I found the tutorial to be well-structured and easy to follow, making it accessible to developers who are new to both Chrome extension development and Vault.
