>My security lies in my knowledge and my skills, and that is something I take with me whereever I am.

Sorry, I was confusing, I meant network and information security. Using a good password hash/library, not trusting user input, knowing some basic attacks or stuff from OWASP Top 10 and how to reproduce them. That stuff is still a problem. I'll admit I probably know less than I should because it's at the fore-front of my mind and I don't practice often, but it just seems weird that a company would prefer performance over secure coding.

Oh I missunderstood, sorry. I think everything is important, the more you know the better you can do your job. Probably maintenance comes before security, and security before performance. But it depends on the case.
