The problem is not engineers, it's short term profit above all. I've heard of a few more companies who are bleeding engineers and selling off parts to fill the deficit but still keep the divident payouts and stock buybacks rolling

As the article already states, in most jurisdictions you cannot void gross negligence liability in contracts. It will probably come down to that in those jurisdictions. If they willfully did not implement staged rollouts that look like negl
