The (un)funny thing is, most developers would love to have the time to make sure their code is secure and well tested.  Very often they lack a voice to product stakeholders, to get the time off feature development, and make sure their software is up to date with patches.<p>&gt; <i>Practice active kindness. Go out of your way to do kind things for people, especially people who may not deserve it. If you wait for them to make the first move, you’ll be waiting a while — but extend a hand to someone who expects a kick in the teeth and watch as you gain a new friend. Smile.</i><p>I really like this quote.  A security engineer and a developer teaming up together as colleagues, are more likely to being taken seriously by stakeholders.  Both teams working together have a much better chance of being given the time needed to make sure their software is stable and secure.
