Not reading error messages carefully

Hardcoding sensitive credentials
// Wrong
const API_KEY = 'sk-123456789';
// Correct
const API_KEY = process.env.API_KEY;The Solution //
Never hardcode API keys, passwords, or secrets in your source code. Use environment variables (.env files) to keep them secure and out of version control.
