Yeah - and why the developer, exactly? Not liable: - The CEO that set infeasible targets and pocketed a big bonus for meeting shareholder expectations. - The sales person that sold the project for too little money and pocketed a big bonus for bringing it in. - The manager who allocated too few hours and got a raise for finishing the project in time. - The designer who drew all the cute boxes on the powerpoint presentation to show how it was going to work. - The testers who failed to find whatever the problem was. Liable: - The poor chap who wrote the code, worked extra unpaid hours to get it done at all within the timescale imposed, didn't have a say in how it was going to be implemented, and didn't even get so much as a thank you.
