Another take is that DESPITE there being a lot of 'amateurs' in the industry, the world generally seems to be humming along as normal, if not doing very well.

Given that the count of software security incidents and data breaches are skyrocketing by all measures (e.g. https://www.varonis.com/blog/cybersecurity-statistics/ https://www.varonis.com/blog/cybersecurity-statistics/), that's not remotely a reasonable view to take.
- fzeroracer 8y agoData breaches are rarely correlated with amateur developers in my opinion. Breaches occur when a company makes financial decisions that it is cheaper for them to deal with the potential fallout of a leak than to prevent it in the first place. More skilled labor won't solve this problem because it's fundamentally an issue of management and cost-saving measures.
