- onionisafruit 5y agoThe liability is on the licensed engineer who signed off on it.
- remus 5y agoThe engineer is part of a larger system though, and imo it's the fault of the system if a mistake from a single junior engineer can cause deaths.
- allo37 5y agoI was waiting for someone to make this point; It's funny how in other engineering disciplines there are clear repercussions for designing something that breaks the law, but software engineers are somehow exempt. "The client didn't want to pay for a GFI so it's not my fault he got electrocuted ¯\_(ツ)_/¯"
- pjmlp 5y agoWe aren't except from it on countries where software engineering is a proper professional title and there is a named signed on some contract. However a large amount of dark patterns aren't legally forbidden anyway.
- deepsun 5y agoWow, I didn't know such software professional titles exist, I thought it's the same in all countries. Could you share the countries list please?
