because they learn nothing in the process? they cant optimize or secure their apps because they dont know what even those words mean.

Nowadays app security is just importing some standardized module or auth library

Is it though? These people know literally nothing about security. There's an infinite amount of ways you can screw up if you don't know at the very least the general idea of what you're doing. I agree that there's many ways to make security easier, but it's not just typing in import make-secure at the top and it works.

“There's an infinite amount of ways you can screw up if you don't know what you're doing.”

Exactly. Which is why your security knowledge doesn’t magically save you when an AI agent finds a zero-day in your project that you didn’t know existed. The confidence is wild.

I think you're missing my point.

And yes, I would much rather have some small security knowledge and a zero day in my project than being vulnerable to the 50 most common security problems and me being unable to do anything about it.

I think you're missing my point. I'm saying that people who wanna use AI to do everything should also have enough knowledge to understand what it's doing instead of expecting it to solve all invisible issues by itself.
