The Cheapest Fix Happens Before You Code

A bug you can fix in an afternoon.
A flawed assumption you rebuild around for months.

If the design trusts the wrong thing,
no patch saves it.
You’re decorating a crack.

That’s why security belongs at the whiteboard,
not the code review.

The cheapest fix is the one you make
before writing a line.

– Serguey Asael Shinder
