    If capitalism insists on those higher up getting exorbitantly more money than those doing the work, then we have to hold them to the other thing they claim they believe in: that those higher up also deserve all the blame.

    It’s a novel concept, I know. Leave the Nobels by the doormat, please.

      Wait, are you trying to say that Risk/Reward is an actual thing?

      /s (kinda)

      I doesn’t seem unfair for executives to earn the vast rewards they take from their business by also taking on total responsibility for that business.

        Moreover, that’s the argument you hear when talking about their compensation. “But think of the responsibility and risk they take!”

      Was there a process in place to prevent the deployment that caused this?

      No: blame the higher up

      Yes: blame the dev that didn’t follow process

      Of course there are other intricacies, like if they did follow a process and perform testing, and this still occurred, but in general…

        If they didn’t follow a procedure, it is still a culture/management issue that should follow the distribution of wealth 1:1 in the company.

        How could one Dev commit to prod without other Devs reviewing the MR? IF you’re not protecting your prod branch that’s a cultural issue. I don’t know where you’ve worked in the past, or where you’re working now, but once it’s N+1 engineers in a code base there needs to be code reviews.

            I hate to break it to you, but companies with actual safe rails to deploying to production do exist.

            And when things go wrong, it’s never the responsibility on a single dev. It’s also the dev who reviewed the PR. It’s also the dev who buddy approved the deploy. It’s the whole department that didn’t have enough coverage in CI.

            I would hate to work where you developed the idea a protected main/prod branch is something novel.
