Re: Mandatory rewards for bug disclosure and fines for failing to fix

Compulsory bug bounties would prolong the problem - a programmer could add bugs, or simply make some notes, and then retire on the compulsory bug bounties.

This isn't a one-off problem, it the way we build the world these days. Perhaps a better solution would be to require that every software/hardware team leader has an engineering PhD. Unlikely isn't it? Nobody cares about talent these days, executives only care about making a couple of million each year and a golden parachute when your Simpsons programming team screws up.

And it's not just the IT world, it's everywhere.
