Why Secure Coding Ability Remains an Afterthought in Modern Hiring Pipelines

Most hiring pipelines reward speed, syntax, and surface level correctness instead of the judgment and risk awareness that real software security depends on.

Without evaluating how candidates think about trust, assumptions, and failure paths, organizations embed security debt into systems from the very first hire.
