Blockchain can help with this. We can record all defects on the blockchain and have tamper proof evidence of those who consistently fail to adhere to this RFC. It will encourage developers to write bug proof code everywhere. Employers can further encourage developers to stop writing bugs by docking the gas fees from their paycheck. This works doubly so on devs who are blockchain "non-believers" because they desperately will not want to contribute to the heat death of our planet. (Those people clearly don't get the bigger picture. The colossal waste of energy will obviously be offset by the fact that code throughout the world will no longer have bugs and people will be more efficient.)

This seems like it could be the one of the best thing to ever happen to the software industry in decades and has no possible chance of unintended consequences.



We can also trade bugs as NFTs and it wouldn't even be the most ridiculous use of NFTs.
