Has that ever happened? It's incredibly hard to prosecute directors in the UK for obvious malfeasance. I have never heard of a software engineer being sanctioned for crap code.

for engineers[1] it is relatively new, having only been introduced in the last couple of years

[1]: technically those performing a Certified Function

  • unless the engineer was provably malicious wouldn't it be responsibility of the product owner? Ownership usually entails accountability, they could order proper QA?

It would be nearly impossible to prosecute for just bad code. It would require more and is limited very small scope of people.
