Pretty interesting to see a Developer and PM have to pay out as well. I wonder how the judge reached that conclusion.
- markolschesky 9y agoThe developer loaded the hard-coded data to evade detection and the PM oversaw the process where the data was validated against the government's test harness for Meaningful Use. I suppose you could argue that those people would have pushed back on the lack of ethics in the situation and halted the process to prevent their certification.
- rubiquity 9y agoThank you for that bit of info. I would say that is quite unethical and worthy of a fine. I wonder why the developer gets it worse than the PMs though given how pressure tends to land on developers rather than the other way around.
