That's not the same web devs making those same mistakes. Developers with some experience do not write code that fails against easy sql-injection. But companies prefer to hire younger inexperienced devs for the reasons that have been discussed here on /. many times.

I'll add to that that this isn't limited to web developers.

Hell yeah this. In most fields, there's decades of prior wisdom that one should at least try to get a grasp of before making "brilliant" inventions. Like, you shouldn't write an init system before reading "Unix for Dummies".
Things like SIGHUP/nohup are basic knowledge, if you don't know this you shouldn't write your snowflake way of killing processes on logout. If you don't know ways to authenticate users and what user names are explicitly allowed by POSIX (the 0day issue), you shouldn't create a gaping

Your link is broken -- it redirects to a country-specific YouTube site that dims the page and presents an empty white rectangle. If I recall correctly, if I dropped enough privacy-related extensions, it'd show me a form to sign away most of my rights, then keep doing so unless it's allowed setting a 3rd-party cookie. Just no.
Redirecting someone to youtube.pl when following a link to youtube.com is inexcusable, as content of these two is different (even if a good part of videos can be watched on both). Th

I'm not redirecting anyone to youtube.pl; the link came from YouTube's very own "Copy video URL at current time", which I assumed to be doing The Right Thing, so I have no idea what it's doing wrong for you, and you also shouldn't have to watch for an hour when the timestamp for the relevant portion is clearly included in it.

Yeah, the breakage is not your fault. That timestamp you included might still be encoded somewhere inside the massive URL that sign-away-your-firstborn page redirects to, getting past it is currently beyond my threshold of putting up with crap.
Google somehow insists that everyone with an IP in country X prefers language X, even when accessing a country-Y-specific URL, with browser sending English as the preferred language. Searches in non-English are mostly useless except for some local stuff -- but I for
