Another issue, this one a blocker: Infiscal adds 2.2s to launch a process while I fully expected this delay to be incalculably small.

black:worker egor$ time infisical run /usr/bin/true

Minor bug: after execution of `infisical init` the resulting `.infisical.json` is executable on macOS: black:worker egor$ ls -l .infisical.json -rwxr-xr-x 1 egor staff 122 Feb 28 11:19 .infisical.json* (While minor, it's still a glaringly obvious thing, I wonder how could that have been missed by your devs)

Oh, I see that all json files stored in ~/.infisical have the executable bit set...

This may indicate that your developers have limited understanding of file permissions.

In other words: this product is employing a pricing strategy that is overwhelmingly common in our industry (because it works).

And the industry is sick of it...? At least some vocal minority

Thank you, 'cause I don't wanna do the wrap command thing they do. Besides that, this is a great idea.

This is actually not the only way to use Infisical (though it's probably the easiest one). You can also use our Open API and we are adding SDKs for the most popular languages in the next few weeks: https://infisical.com/docs/api-reference/overview/introducti... .

What would your recommended approach be for distroless containers that don’t run a shell?
