This doesn't come from software developers.

This comes from the SV culture of "move fast and break things."

I painted too broad strokes. I agree, and admit my mistake.

Just replace "software developer" with "self-proclaimed software engineer" in your comment and you'd be spot-on.

Nothing about engineering really covers security best principles and practices.

I went through classical engineering school, and I'd summarize with three categories:

* Newtonian Physics & The Mathematics Behind It (i.e. Differential Equations)

* Ethics

* Technical Communications

That's because there is no software engineering program, and other engineering programs don't deal with "security" per se.

My alma mater offers a degree in Software Engineering.

I think that was actually invented at Facebook in the early days, unless I'm mistaken. Its a good mantra unless its security related
