I understand the stereotype of software developers not caring about security as I have seen it first hand myself. But why would a software dev who became a pen tester have any more bad habits then somebody who was not a software dev before?

A good pen tester is a rebel and has an instinct to rowhammer machines, run strange software, etc.
