While I agree with the sentiment, the employee's tolerance of security measures will likely vary according to industry (at least it should). Finance and military applications have been brought up several times for good reason: there is the issue of protecting sensitive information of the client. That may extend to the code, or procedures that can be inferred from the code. In other industries, the sensitive information may only pertain to the employer itself. That's when relationships will be more important.
- sriku 6y agoThis is the right attitude. In cases, information leak can lead to even loss of life (ex: healthcare) and "we're nice to our employees" cannot be a plan to protect this info when you're working with clients of that kind.
- exabrial 6y agoI don't think a defense industry CEO or HIPAA covered entity is asking on HN how to prevent leaks, but I've been wrong before.
