Comment on Do big companies like Google and Amazon fire developers for buggy releases?

Comments

I seriously doubt any successful software company is firing engineers for introducing bugs. They'd have no employees.

One Google engineer from back then says the most remarkable thing about the co-founders' code was that when it broke, users would see funny error message: "Whoa, horsey!"

Right. The developer made the bug, perhaps QA should have found the bug, perhaps the project manager has the responsibility. There is no single person to point out.

That said, it is not normal, in my country at least, to fire people.
