The big problem with tech startups is that they are by and large technologically clueless. Security is just one of the more obvious symptoms.

It's always been the case that a lot of tech startups are started by "idea people" who just may or may not get lucky with their choice of technical co-founder or first hire, but I get the feeling it's been getting a lot worse the past few years. You can go to startup meetups and have a hard time finding anyone with half a clue about the actual technology.

Feels like we are regressing back to 1999.
