The graver problem is programmers — and, humans in general — don't realise the gravity of recklessness until the moment when shit hits the fan. Startups begin with general imprudence towards checks and processes, which is understandable but even in the growing stages, the idea of incorporating them is snubbed because of 'priorities'. "Time is precious and there are more important problems to solve in the way". Unauthenticated MongoDb on default port? The likelihood of a person port scanning the entire web just doesn't strike as anything adverse, and then, someday someone does exactly that. I guess this is one important reason to bring at least some experienced people on board because there is a likely chance that they can give a better perspective on seriousness of such issues.
