Re: Why do coders fail to code for input validation
35 years ago I was writing input validation routines for my programs - and most people around me couldn't understand why I wasted memory and cpu doing so.
Fast forward to today and those same people are the elder gods of coding, passing their arcane knowledge to the new generations.
Couple that with managerial tendencies to grab what's been knocked up in an hour to see if something is viable and push that forward as the finished product and you have a recipe for badness.
