> Even more, how many times do we hire someone knowing they have made 500+ mistakes in prior work leading up to their application.

While i don't disagree with the point you're making entirely, I have made many mistakes in my career and i still get hired and i suspect you have too. Most people make mistakes, and still have jobs.

Realistically, people/orgs make mistakes. Requirements change. Expectations change, security practices change, etc.

Roman bridge engineers would likely struggle to build bridges at the scale and requirements they're built to in 2021 (miles long, tall, huge train weights, etc). Things change in technology jobs a LOT faster than typical NSPE engineering licensees' jobs. Its a different world. There are probably bridges under contruction today that were designed before the iphone.
