| Sep 20, 2011 at 8:57 | comment | added | Newtopian | what about bugs created because the requirements were not gathered correctly, or because the architect made a bad call, or because that was a requested change made through ad-hoc channels (verbally by the designer or architect or customer for example). will the stick apply to them also or just to developers ? What if I (as a developer) identifier this as a potential problem but got overridden by higher power and it finally did turn out as a bug, should I get the rap ? | |

| Aug 10, 2011 at 23:29 | comment | added | Thomas Owens♦ | @JohnFx The original question was questionable. In fact, it was closed at one point because it was too open ended and invited long-standing discussion. Check out the post history to see what it was like before/after. I believe the downvotes are left over from the after. | |
| Aug 10, 2011 at 23:28 | comment | added | Kevin | if there's 3 bugs every time you make a check-in maybe there should be some penalty. If there's 3 bugs every month and qa finds them anyway who cares? | |
| Aug 10, 2011 at 23:26 | comment | added | JohnFx | The down votes seem a bit harsh. We are voting on the validity of the question not the concept of penalizing developers. | |
