How are engineers who introduce XSS issues on production systems "ok" in 2021?

Makes me doubt the rest of your statement too. But mainly because I'm actually a Apple user myself so I know for a fact that neither the software nor the hardware people to be "top".

I can only assume they mean "ok" in the sense of "the large fraction of less-sophisticated engineers who only want to think about the happy paths in their code."

Github's co-pilot is a poor code generator, but it's a fair example of how bad a lot of public code is. I'm not sure private code tends to be much better in many orgs.
