. . . said no interviewer ever.

And as selfishly awesome as it would be for my career if security holes became career-ending mistakes (hire me so you don't lose your job!), the only people who haven't written software with security holes are those who haven't written software.

I get it. Because absolute security is an impossibility, we just shouldn't bother at all.

See what you and I did there? Extremes, both sides of the argument. I know that no interviewer says that - it was done to illustrate my point.
