EP009: Jim Manico – Trainer from Manicode.com, Developer, and OWASP speaker on secure coding.
Summary: <br> Jim Manico and I connected a few years ago through some of the OWASP meetings he presented at in Denver. He was talking about cross-site scripting prevention, and in the brief training, I knew that Jim would be a great person to know if I ever needed to educate people. Fast forward a few years, and here we are talking about secure coding and how to train the world of developers that they’re security engineers first now. Jim and I talked about Manicode and his journey of owning his own business, and what that process has been like for him.<br> 00:00 Intro.<br> 04:00 Going solo and <a href="http://www.anglefreeit.com/2017/12/21/pillar-4-stagnant-skills-is-career-death/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Pillar 4</a> makes an appearance.<br> 07:00 How to code.<br> 10:00 How to talk to your security folks if you’re a developer.<br> 22:00 Software development is a team sport.<br> 24:00 Jim’s career goals.<br> 30:00 Times Jim’s made a pivot successfully.<br> 33:00 Mentorship and <a href="http://www.anglefreeit.com/2017/12/29/pillar-6/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">PIllar 6.</a><br> 37:00 Handling burnout.<br> 39:00 Jim loves <a href="https://github.com/Netflix/lemur" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LEMUR</a> – The certificate orchestration suite from Netflix.<br> Tools that Jim touched on: <a href="https://www.owasp.org/index.php/Category:OWASP_Application_Security_Verification_Standard_Project" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OWASP </a>ASVs, <a href="https://www.owasp.org/index.php/OWASP_Cheat_Sheet_Series" target="_blank" rel="noopener">OWASP Cheat Sheet Series</a>, and last but certainly not least Jim’s Training website, <a href="https://manicode.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Manicode.com</a>. If you need any coding training done – I can’t recommend Jim highly enough. Fidelity is measured by small steps over many years, and Jim is who he is today because he’s the same guy I met years ago, only better.<br>
