> Great list! Could you expand on the items a bit?
That would be funny, as the list is an attempt to reduce things.
Perhaps you mean - can we elaborate on the principles of reduction
somewhat?
Maybe. I am wondering. The problem with pithy lists is that, in the
limit, they end up as a collection of mutually-contradictory idioms,
like; "Many hands make light work" but "Too many cooks spoil the
broth".
Security is already a mess of theories in tension - "If in doubt
don't." versus "Fortune favours the brave"
Perhaps we could make a more focused list for our readers, for
innovative developers, with items like:
"Secure yourself before attempting to secure others."

"Don't assume you know what people want"
But I fear it would not be gladly received.
