The optimist’s case for AI-assisted development, argued with thirty years of receipts.

Defending Dev is a publication on AI-assisted secure software development — blog, guides, tutorials, podcast and video shorts. It is written against the fear-based default of the security industry: every wave of speed becomes a wave of safety, once someone writes down how. This is where it gets written down.

Diplomatically, weekly, in public.
