Not likely when professionally written code is full of errors, many security-related (e.g. attempting to load and execute .gifs). I recently presented a compilation[1] of the errors produced by one widely-used commercial ad function. If this is how a professionals write commercial code, I don't want to imagine what amateurs have been doing.
