alt Hacker NewsAs a contractor who works building apps (and their server backends) for big clients: I don’t give a fuck. I just do the minimum so the app works. The worst that can happen is that the client asks me to fix the flaw later on, for which I will bill more hours.
I can 100% guarantee that’s what happened here.

I assumed there is always some technical documentation/app architecture and some mandatory (server side) security you have to follow, but reading this I'm being too optimistic.
Can't the client sue for damage though? Especially in a courtroom-happy country like the US, perhaps causing financial trouble to a corporation the size of McDonald's would not exactly lead to a happy, carefree livelihood
