Heh, or take a Netflix Chaos Monkey approach and have a new employee attempt to take down the whole system on their first day and fire any engineers who built whatever the new employee is actually able to break!

Why fire them? It's valuable experience that you are paying a lot for them to gain. Better: hold a postmortem, figure out what broke, and make the people who screwed it up originally fix it. Keep people who screw things up, as long as they also fix it.
I wasnt serious about "firing" -- but was just maintaining the spirit of what happened to the OP on reddit...
but yeah - I agree with you...
Sounds like a technique taught at The Pirate School of Management.
