Comment on Ask HN: Why do you think vulnerable code is still being released today?parent

I think you over-estimate the impact of universities.

I may, I have a bit of a vendetta for them.

Negligence is the first.

Arguably, yes. Most of the comments when I posted mine indicated that negligence was the cause -- I was aiming to find the other ones. Still I somehow fail to understand how even pressure results in SQL injections -- nearly all languages I have worked with have a productivity reward/time saving for using parameterized SQL.

On point one - perhaps my expectations are lower. I think a CS degree signals a level of rigor that is absent in other degrees, but I don't pretend that the practicality is so high that people can be instantly useful. I assume that it takes 3 months of general training, and several more of "Here's how we do it here" before you can expect much. (As opposed to a Math major who would require programming training on top of it, or a History major who might be lost outright)
