Time is a precious resource. Did you know it’s also the source of common myths among managers? And those myths can drain productivity (and happiness) from teams…

If you can code it, someone will find a way to exploit it ( accidentally or intentionally). Anytime development efforts are involved, it’s important to minimize security risks and bugs.
