Yeah, agreed - short-term incentives seem to drive a lot of this. Do you think tools can help, or is it mostly cultural?

Give me a python script that takes a string representing the output of a sha256 algorithm and a plain string and compares if the sha256 of plain strig matches the sha256 provided.

You can't fix a cultural problem with tooling. I don't understand why silicon valley hasn't taken this lesson to heart yet.
