Production security failures—most are entirely preventable, yet teams keep making the same mistakes.

The real issue? Security reviews are treated as optional checkpoints rather than mandatory gates. When you skip them, you're not just cutting corners on process; you're rolling the dice with your entire system.

Here's the thing: the difference between a secure deployment and a catastrophic breach often comes down to whether someone actually reviewed the code, the infrastructure, and the attack surface before going live.

Make security reviews non-negotiable. It's not bureaucracy—it's the baseline.

It's the same old story... but honestly, some teams just don't listen to advice and only regret it after something goes wrong.

Honestly, it's really frustrating that the team keeps making the same mistakes. Skipping security review is like going live naked; sooner or later, you'll suffer the consequences.

To be honest, most teams treat security reviews as a joke and only panic when something goes wrong.

Ironically, big companies spend millions on audits every year, while small teams skip even reviews, and in the end, everyone falls into the same trap. Data speaks: 98% of security vulnerabilities could have been detected during code review, but they still made it online. It's not the first time; haven't we learned from the DAO incident in 2016? The problem isn't the tools; it's that the team simply doesn't take security seriously, treating mandatory measures as optional. This mindset is toxic. Historical lessons show that every project claiming "this time is different" ultimately crashes in the same place.

Honestly, this is a classic case of the "We don't have time" syndrome, and only regretting it after it blows up.

To be honest, those teams that mess up the production environment are just rushing. Skipping security review is like driving on the highway without wearing a seatbelt—relying on luck...

Basically, it's just laziness. Even after the review process is completed, they still skip it out of laziness... and only cry for help when something goes wrong.
