This is an important aspect of development; I'd say that it should be considered mandatory in today's climate. Stand up a brand new server with a simple index.html, then look at the logs in a week; they'll likely be filled with all sorts of 404s from hacking attempts. Expose a login page, and watch the tables of hacked account credential attempts roll in.
Good on you for emphasizing this! Software developers owe their users (and their user's data) no less.
My goal is to write explanations on coding concepts for beginners w/o prior coding background, along with sharing Sailor Moon references wherever I can 😅✨

Great insight, Daniel! I couldn't agree more. Hopefully with awareness comes positive change in the right direction. Thanks for reading!
