That's not fair. For one, not every developer has their linkedin inmail overflowing with job offers. This is more about how strongly one feels about their opinion/conviction. It's a soul-searching type of choice. Example: I personally refuse to to put my name on a decision for something that I strongly believe will be an _embarrassing_ failure and clear sign of incompetence. This happened to me twice. The first time it got escalated above my boss and they were not pleased with me at all. Emails had sentences in all caps at some points, but I got my way. It's unclear if I was actually right or not but nothing bad happened when production went live so there was nothing to blame me with. We kept on working together. The 2nd time I did this in a different job & company, I was ultimately terminated. I did find out 7 months later that I was right and the project failed at least in small part due to ignoring my advice. I don't regret any of this, but I can't tell someone else what kind of risks to take.
