alt Hacker NewsThe “sensitive” toggle is off by default. I’m curious about the rationale, what's the benefit of this default for users and/or Vercel?

Simpler for vibe coders.
Sensitive environment variables are environment variables whose values are non-readable once created.
So they are harder to introspect and review once set.
It’s probably good practice to put non-secret-material in non-sensitive variables.
(Pure speculation, I’ve never used Vercel)
