Security
Security defaults beat security reminders
Checklists help, but enforced defaults—headers, secrets handling, dependency updates—reduce human error. We bake baseline protections into templates and CI.
Training developers to “remember” CSP or cookie flags does not scale. We use secure-by-default frameworks, shared middleware, and automated scans on pull requests so the path of least resistance is also the safer path.
Secrets never belong in repos; rotation and least-privilege IAM are part of onboarding a new service, not a follow-up ticket.
When we find a gap, we fix the template or pipeline so the next project does not repeat the same mistake.
