Maybe we should also pay programmers based on outcome then, and you get less if your % of bugs is higher than the team average, sounds like a great idea, eh? Maybe a day without pay if you bring down the live service? I'm pretty sure this wouldn't work. The first place to put it in place, be it a hospital or a tech company, would just have most people quit. Sometimes things are hard and people need to know the business has got their backs as long as they try their best. Reducing pay on bad outcomes is institutional blame culture on overdrive.
