If capitalism insists on those higher up getting exorbitantly more money than those doing the work, then we have to hold them to the other thing they claim they believe in: that those higher up also deserve all the blame.
It’s a novel concept, I know. Leave the Nobels by the doormat, please.
Wait, are you trying to say that Risk/Reward is an actual thing?
/s (kinda)
Was there a process in place to prevent the deployment that caused this?
No: blame the higher up
Yes: blame the dev that didn’t follow process
Of course there are other intricacies, like if they did follow a process and perform testing, and this still occurred, but in general…

Oh you sweet summer child…
I hate to break it to you, but companies with actual safe rails to deploying to production do exist.
And when things go wrong, it’s never the responsibility on a single dev. It’s also the dev who reviewed the PR. It’s also the dev who buddy approved the deploy. It’s the whole department that didn’t have enough coverage in CI.

If they didn’t follow a procedure, it is still a culture/management issue that should follow the distribution of wealth 1:1 in the company.
I doesn’t seem unfair for executives to earn the vast rewards they take from their business by also taking on total responsibility for that business.
Moreover, that’s the argument you hear when talking about their compensation. “But think of the responsibility and risk they take!”
