What do you take for secure programming?

Hey folks,

i am very new to this mailing list, this is just my first message.
I wonder what you take for "secure programming" ?

Are you folks aware about the difference between coding and programming ?
I am sure you plenty of guys/girls here are, but it is worthy to
refresh it, isn't it ?
Don't take me wrong, please, but i do ask that cause i have heard
about many "secure programming" techniques that are simply put
misguided. And the most amazing is that there are plenty of folks
around "buying" many wrong concepts. I hope this mailing list may
clarify the ones i bought myself too (we all do, in different amounts,
of course).

Thanks for your feedback.
