Certainly I've observed a lack of well rounded skills that affect code 
quality, especially with regards to security, reliability, maintenance 
and industry best practices among a lot of programmers who are otherwise 
intelligent enough people, but just haven't been taught these things 
from their universities and also have failed to get them from the 
working environment and often cite things like security not being their 
realm, which is a fundamental failing in direction.
