This is comparing apples to oranges. The builder in question is obviously the contractor, while the developer is an employee. The builder would eat the cost of the repairs while HIS employees would be paid their wage to fix it and at risk for termination for incompetence were they responsible for the initial defect.

If the developer was an independent contractor or freelancer, he would be required to fix his bugs on his own time (trust me, I've done it). If he is an employee, he would be paid his normal wage, and be at risk for termination should his employer feel it warranted.

Your boss can't make you fix bugs on your own time because you are an employee. If he takes issue with the quantity/severity of the bugs you produce, his his remedy is to fire you and replace you with someone more competent.

Good Catch, I pulled that article off the twitter discussion of todays issue, and didn't catch the date. DNS servers are still down though.

I saw that episode, it was called Trinity(http://gateworld.net/atlantis/s2/206.shtml), and McKay's explosion only took out 3/4 of a solar system.
