Kent Beck: “I get paid for code that works, not for tests” (2013)

Device drivers are a bad example, they can be extremely security sensitive (particularly so because they usually have kernel privileges).

There are few things where security doesn't matter. But they are extremely rare. The situations where programmers think their code isn't security sensitive are probably vastly more common.

Good point, but I was addressing the perceived lack of "code that connects to anything". I agree with you that security is a valid concern for most if not all code written.
