Welcome to your practical guide to secure coding practices, curated by a developer with over 7 years of hands-on experience across web, mobile, and desktop applications. This guide cuts through the noise to bring you actionable security recommendations that have been tested in real-world environments.
It was created to help every vibe coder get to know a basics of building secure applications. Even basic knowledge on this topic can prevent most common security pitfalls. Pitfalls which when used by bad actors can lead to crashing the site down best case), cause high bills at services you use (middle case) or stealing your users data and exposing you to legal responsibility (worst case). In each case your credibility and your business is at risk. Let’s prevent it!
What This Guide Offers
Security isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a mindset that should infuse every line of code you write. Here, you’ll find:
- Battle-tested security patterns that prevent common vulnerabilities
- Practical examples you can implement immediately
- Clear explanations of security risks and their business impact
- Straightforward mitigation strategies for everyday coding scenarios
What This Guide Isn’t
This isn’t an exhaustive security encyclopedia or a theoretical academic paper. You won’t find:
- In-depth implementation details for complex security systems
- A comprehensive catalog of every possible vulnerability
- Overly complex solutions that aren’t practical for real-world development and needed at early stage
- Also: I don’t plan to gatekeep any posts soon. I reserve the right to add some premium content later but for know explore freely!
