If you're expecting agreement, remember that you're on HN. As far as I can tell, most developers have been vocally and fervently against being held liable or even accountable for bugs, design defects, security issues, etc. <sotto voce> probably because, collectively, developers produce so many of them.
- teddyh 5y ago“HN” is probably against blaming programmers for bugs, since this would be blaming the lowest-level employees for something which can only realistically be fixed at the top level. Programmers have some blame in producing bugs, but that is mostly because they are not given the time, resources, incentives or training to do things right.
