If you are a CEO you should be asking this question: "How many people in this company can unilaterally destroy our entire business model?"
If you are a CTO you should be asking this question: "How quickly can we recover from a perfect storm?"
They didn't ask those questions, they couldn't take responsibility, they blamed the junior developer. I think I know who the real fuckups are.
As an aside: Way back in time I caused about ten thousand companies to have to refile some pretty important government documents because I was doubling xml decoding (& became &). My boss actually laughed and was like "we should have caught this a long time ago"... by we he actually meant himself and support.
