Even if their intentions are all good, eventually they're going to let loose on a crowd of innocents.

Don't you mean shoot themselves in the foot?

No. I don't think I do. If the fallout of incompetent programmers was confined to themselves, it might be acceptable to let them be. But there are plenty of cases where failure to take even the most elementary safeguards with other peoples data--place-holders & SQL injections; cookies with clear text credentials; etc.--that have lead to the crowd suffering, whilst the programmer goes scot-free.

Examine what is said, not who speaks -- Silence betokens consent -- Love the truth but pardon error.

"Science is about questioning the status quo. Questioning authority".

In the absence of evidence, opinion is indistinguishable from prejudice.
