While EEs are part to blame, the other half is just graduated (or "bootcamp graduated" - let's put it this way) developers that know all the node.js shortcuts but don't know about the fundamentals of internet security.

Not sure we can blame bootcamps - I learned nothing about internet security in my software engineering college course.

But you probably knew that is was something to consider. And weren't told that you are basically a full fledged developer after a 3 month web dev course and after reading "cracking the coding interview". The Dunning–Kruger effect is heavily at work there.

I'm not the person you responded to, but not really. My college courses - admittedly as a Computer Science major, not Software Engineering - were laughably lacking any practical education. The closest we had was one group project, and we didn't even learn about things like version control.

Security? Forget it.

I've never gone to a bootcamp, but I'd wager that they at least mention security in their classes. College was the equivalent of the PHP documentation that had incredibly insecure examples that people "learned" from.
