"Move fast and break things"

I could spend an extra 5 minutes doing it "right" or I can get what I need done and have a 0.001% chance of there ever being a problem (since there are other security measure in place, like firewalls, api key rotation, etc.)

Even when security gaps are exploited, the fallout tends to be minimal. Companies that had their entire database of very sensitive information leaked are still growing users and at worst paid a tiny fine.
