What Does “Developer-First Security” Actually Look Like in Practice?
This article cuts through the buzzwords to unpack what developer-first security really means—and why most current approaches fall short. It’s not just about shifting left or integrating tools into IDEs. It’s about meeting developers with context, clarity, and respect for how they work.
Key takeaways include:
-
Why “more alerts” doesn’t equal better security
-
How cognitive load and trust gaps undermine secure coding efforts
-
What it takes to actually enable, not obstruct, developers during remediation
It’s a candid look at the disconnect between security tooling and developer experience—and how to fix it.
If you work in product security, platform engineering, or developer tooling, this is a must-read.
