Well yes, it could be teaching developers. But you would be teaching a single solution for a single problem. I think it would be better to entice solutions that target the bigger issue on security awareness. All this new tools that make it so much easier to develop complex applications have huge benefits, but I believe they are also pushing new developers away from understanding the concepts behind what they are doing. As someone who started as a designer and grew on my own into development, I've seen this issue first hand.
