Yes. You either MAKE money or SPEND money (sorry for the caps).
Audit, Security, IT (internal infra people), cleaning personnel, SPEND money.
Sales, Product Development, MAKE money.
Once the "developers" can charge per-hour to the clients, then we love them because they BRING money. But those 'losers' that slow down the 'sales of new features' with their 'stupid' checks and controls and code-security-this and xss-that, are slowing down the sales, so they SPEND money and slow down the MAKING of money.
Now, in our minds, it is clear that those 'losers' who do the code check 'stuff' are making sure that whoever buys today, will come and buy again tomorrow. But as it has been discussed here, the CEOs need to show results THIS quarter, so fire 20% of the security 'losers' to reduce HR costs, hire 5 prompt engineers to pump out new features, and pray to your favourite god that things don't go boom :)
Meanwhile most CEOs have a golder parachute, so it is definitely worth the risk!
