  We had a guy do that. Cost the company $300k (penalty) and they had to eat the cost of the rework (another $50k or so in labor, maybe more). He's not very popular right now as a result.

    Your company doesn’t have a QA team?

      Do you imagine QA catches everything?

      It does. But the person responsible for evaluating it was on their way out (had gotten a new job, hadn't put in their notice yet though) and just said, "All good!" to a bunch of things (previously trustworthy and good work, but their work that last month or two was shit). So to some extent the dev got unlucky, his terrible code (that he didn't test) may have been caught through the normal QA process which the QA willfully lied about doing. But that doesn't absolve him for not testing (even basic testing) his own work.

  Darn that has to be exhausting
