realize that. If you coded something which had a bug that
didn't show up until later, it wouldn't matter unless it
were so huge or obvious that nobody could see how you
overlooked it. Producing an imperfect product is not the
same as being negligent. Releasing products with known,
major problems would be different. So would be releasing
products with bugs so obvious that nobody can see how you
managed to overlook them.
The courts don't expect perfection, due diligence is quite
sufficient.
