#277: Developers are often caught in a challenging position. They are keen to write code, innovate, hack, and build new things. However, when security measures are perceived as long, difficult, and cumbersome tasks, these essential protocols tend to be avoided or improperly implemented. The key is to balance the pursuit of creativity with the need for robust security.

The idea is simple yet profound: by ensuring that security tools are straightforward and user-friendly, developers are more likely to incorporate them into their workflow. This not only benefits the developer but also the entire organization by safeguarding the product from potential vulnerabilities.

In this episode, we talk with Luke Hinds, CTO of Stacklok, about how bridging the gap between development and security can lead to healthier, more secure software environments.
