If you add in personal liability for mistakes, nobody competent will ever bother working in the industry again. It's not worth the personal risk. You'll get stuck with bottom of the barrel staff who don't have much to lose and get a steady paycheck for a few years.


I believe that many "professionals" have personal liability and carry insurance.

Lawyers, doctors, and engineers to name a few.


The liability the OP describes is clownish and nobody would ever insure against it.


That still prevents it from happening again, no? Still seems like a success.


No, it guarantees it will happen because only terrible people will work on the systems.
