One of the most astonishing things about working in Application Security was seeing how many SQL injection vulns there were in new code. Often doing things the right way was easier than doing it the wrong way, and yet some would fight against their data framework to create the injection vulnerability. Doubt they were trying to intentionally cause security vulnerabilities but rather were either using old tutorials and copy/paste code or were long term coders who had been doing it this way for decades.
