The company I work at does not fire people for introducing bugs (everyone introduces bugs at some point and time). We try to find out what failures in our process (dev, test, release) contributed to the failure and try fix them. Some of the causes may be large, so it takes us time to get the organizational commitment and focus to work on them, but we do act.
I have (personally) been fortunate never to have worked with an “S”, so I think the author is being overbroad.
I noticed that the author called out several contracting firms instead of "real" tech companies. Can't help but wonder if things really are that messed up on that side of the fence.
