Developer-first Security sucks! Why is it essential to automate product security?

Security teams focus on planning secure IT environments, but developers are asked to focus on productivity while they are also tasked with implementing these security plans. The main issue is that developers are often left out of security planning processes, creating a strained relationship between these two teams.

Be enterprise-ready: Three reasons not to build enterprise features!

If you are thinking about building features to be enterprise-ready, there are typically two paths that brought you here: Either way, you need to be aware that selling to enterprises is super exciting, especially if you like to play golf and you are ok with a long sales cycle - it could easily take you up to three years to close a deal. Enterprises can be scared to give startups a chance and startups often lose out to more established businesses.

Understanding SAML SSO, the basics from the user side

I have always worked in tech, so have always needed to understand the technical nature of the products we are building. This process has always been over-complicated for me so I now always try to write a guide for non-technical people like me.

I knew I had to head back home with the desk, find a good place to unpack the unit, find my screwdrivers, hammer, alan keys, and finally dedicate a few hours of labor to assemble everything. I enjoy the process but it is not devoid of frustrations.

Enterprise Readiness made simple

I love Lego (don't we all), probably a little more than my kids. It invokes a builder's instinct. I feel the same way with code as well. When I started my career in the early 2000s building software was complex. You had to visit datacenters and set up your servers to even get started, it was the age of the ASPs; the predecessor of SaaS.
