    The details of how the software was programmed should be legally irrelevant.

    Why? Programmers should be legally liable for what they program.

      Why? Programmers should be legally liable for what they program.

      Too many degrees of separation between a programmer and the final product and how it’s used, usually.

      Additionally, the decision to deploy an incomplete product or one that contains known flaws is an administrative decision, not a programming one.
