Consider the Volkswagen scandal where code was written that fudged the results when in an emissions testing environment.

The only person to see major punishment for that was the software dev that wrote the code, but that decision to write that code involved far more people up the chain. THEY should be held accountable in some way or else nothing prevents them from using some other poor dev as a scapegoat.

So far. The trials are ongoing but it has cost a few CEOs their jobs which while not all that consequential isn’t nothing.

Oh interesting. I hadn't heard much about it recently. Thanks.
