Ultimately no unless it is found to be intentional negligence which is highly unlikely. The company will pay $$$ in lawsuits though and the brand reputation will take a massive hit
That does not make sense. If a doctor prescribed the wrong medicine and almost killed a patient, the doctor should be fine as long as it was not done on purpose? The coding bug cost lives. The lack of capability is a sin when it costs human lives.
In your example the doctor’s practice would be sued and his malpractice insurance would take a hit. If he were found to be negligent he would likely lose his license to practice but similarly the bar for criminal negligence is super high and without reaching it the doctor would walk free. Ultimately if engineers and doctors were held criminally liable for every step they took the professions would go unfilled because the risk would be too great
They'll be punished more severely by sending them off to work at Amazon.
Oh no
Regardless, I don’t envy being the person behind the code. The guilt will stay with you forever man...

They don't have QA, engineers test themselves.. well at least that is what FB and Google do from what I read here
