Who ever thought that "web 2.0" (whatever that means) companies have the best talent? They are mostly started by kids fresh out of college and have no real world experience at all. What they DO have is a lot of energy and creativity. The talented developers usually come in to those companies a little down the road when things start to take off, or are there in the rare case of a veteran founding team. Security and clean code are not sexy parts of the job, so a lot of startups make them secondary concerns. Young programmers don't understand technical debt because they simply haven't dealt with it, so things start off with a poor structure and need to be refactored down the road.
