its literally a different environment, may have different behaviors, may enteract with browser differently

its dev man

it compiles everything

it leaks errors

its bad in perf

nothing about dev is good for prod

caching gets fucked

can you get env variables from next js dev?

hmm not sure, i dont think so but not sure

i dont think nextjs would have a reason to ever make your vars public

I know that was a big thing that next fixed over react but never gave a thought if it applied in prod

or in dev i mean

yea react is all about the client goodiness xD

In my hacker days we use to scope out react projects and snatch env vars from them and run amouk lol

with vercel now being a solid host for demo projects and every ai tool on the planet it sounds like shooting fish in a barrel to get ai keys

anyways @Asian black bear if these solved your questions, mark an answer :D
