Let's blame the dev who pressed "Deploy"


Following the CrowdStrike outage, I've stumbled upon an articles that claims that developers should have consequences. Do they?

When you argue with CEOs why they deserve such a big pay and bonuses, they will usually say something along the lines of: “Entrepreneurship implies huge risk and lays the responsibility for failure on the shoulders of the founder/CEO”. Today, they hide behind an army of PR people who write blunt, soulless, unsympathetic press releases, blame their customers and compare their employees to a number in a balance sheet. We could blame United or Delta that decided to run EDR software on a machine that was supposed to display flight details at a check-in counter.
