I'm certainly trying to create spin when writing "How about the notion that we've basically given up on security." As coders we haven't. But in society there are signs of acceptance that viruses, worms, cracking, phising and ID theft are unavoidable side effects of the information age. Perhaps as a society we are starting to give up.
No, they're unavoidable side effects of the *particular technology* we are basing our information age on, much as the famous London "pea soup" fog became much rarer once the number of people burning coal to heat their houses dropped... We just haven't learned to stop burning coal yet...
Yeah, I like to think of code review in these terms; inquisition, monastic. Perhaps these guys should wear robes :)
Anybody else work at a site where there's a non-zero probability of the head security geek showing up for a code review in a bathrobe and pajamas? ;)
