I think we sometimes tend to overuse the blame-game on "Babu" culture.
You've got to deliver a working code tonight, and you end up putting 
performance and security  issues with a bunch of "//TODO:"s and 
"//FIXME:"s. This is the story almost everywhere. It's got little 
relation with the prior mentioned culture. Security holes primarily owe 
to the team culture, cumulative expertise, and (dare I say) the 
tech-lead's ACTUAL technical expertise instead of just years of 
experience on the resume.

Just my 2 cents (which I concede, isn't really adding much value from a 
technology perspective).
