Let me restate, so you can catch it: I'm not saying be good at everything. I am saying be bad at nothing relevant to your work.

Security is without exception and in all circumstances critically relevant to web development. You cannot be an adequate web developer if you cannot look at a system and break down its security impact and how to mitigate it. You can be a bad one, but you can't be even an adequate one.

Less excuses, more practice. It's what you signed up for.
