The dev community's been pretty divided on rapid prototyping lately. On one side, you've got the "move fast" crowd. On the other? People raising solid points:

"Hold up—ship production-grade code and watch the bills pile up."

"Yeah, that UI screams quick iteration."

"But where's the security audit in this?"

It's the classic tension: velocity versus rigor. Speed to market matters. So does not getting hacked. Neither camp's wrong, really. The real question is finding the balance—knowing when to iterate hard and when to lock things down with proper audits and production-level standards.

Rapid iteration and security audits are like fish and bear paws; it's really impossible to have both perfectly.

ngl, rapid iteration and security audits are not mutually exclusive; both are necessary. I've suffered losses on several projects—launch too quickly and vulnerabilities are exposed, making the repair costs even higher. The key is to score each phase—rapid development during the prototype stage, but strict quality control before going live.

Rapid iteration and security audits are truly a perpetual dilemma. I actually think most teams are just swinging between these two extremes.

To be honest, rapid iteration and security audits are really a trade-off; you have to stumble and learn from mistakes to remember.

Nah, there's really no absolute answer to this... Rapid iteration is fun, but if you're hacked once after launch, it's all over.

Fast iteration and security audits, to be honest, each have their own reasons. People who insist on choosing one over the other are a bit naive. I've seen projects skip audits to rush online, only to suffer severe losses from attacks later—that experience was unforgettable. The key still depends on your risk appetite and the scale of user funds. Small experimental projects can be more aggressive, but when it involves large sums of money? Sorry, I suggest taking it slow when necessary.

Isn't this just the old story of technical debt and security? Anyway, it all has to be addressed in the end.
