really depends on the field. A developer working on a rocket fuel subsystem or a pacemaker has a different level of responsibility than a developer making a Horse Tinder app. Many civil and mechanical engineers are in the situation where if a set of structural supports is incorrect or tensile strength calculations are wrong, people can be injured or die.

If my team fucks up, truck drivers can be left at a gate without a destination not making any money and being late getting back to their families. It still sucks, a Dollar General may run out of stock and people who don't make much to begin with could be out money ... but nobody dies.
