I agree with the sentiment but disagree with the metaphor. The truth is that software development is still a young profession with new standards still being, well, developed. Also the quality of software is much more at risk of being deteriorated by business shenanigans than say a bridge, so putting the blame on programmers for data breaches and even comparing software to bridges is plain naive. A more apt metaphor for developing software would be: you’re commissioned to build a car, but you’re forced to put it on the road halfway through the building process, and now you have to build the rest of the car without slowing down and hoping it doesn’t explode in the process.
