Also if you are personally liable of gross negligence, you will:

1. Get paid more (as less fake "engineers" are available for the responsibility).

2. Push back harder (or at least document in detail) on malpractice during development. Manager did not listen to your warnings? Document it and when shit hits the fan, the manager gets the stick instead of you.

Hitting companies with monetary fines does not work. Hitting the employees with jail time will make sure they don't sign on dangerous or known problematic systems.

Manager not listening? Remind them they will face a trial if the issue does surface.

What!? So, when you can't switch jobs because the market is bad or for any other reason, your choices are: 1) quit and lose the income (which you can't afford) or 2) sign on whatever and accept the risk of jail time?

		The job market in such society would not be the same as it is now. If you are certified, chances are you will have lots of choices to work.

		Sounds like every other vocation out there. Software devs have been insanely privileged, for the last couple of decades. That seems to be changing.
