What we've found is that there are 2 mindsets: building and breaking. When you're building a product it's super hard to switch to the breaking mindset of security, simply because mental context switching is expensive and mentally exhausting. The most important thing is to force yourself into that mode before posting anything publicly. If you don't have the security experience, have a friend or service (like ours) look it over. Data is one of the most important assets to your company (or project), and any sort of disclosure can shut you down permanently.
