You are still responsible for the product; the code has stopped being what defines the product.

If you don't review what the product does, you are irresponsible for the product.

Is the CEO responsible for a company's financial performance? Do they review every line of code the company writes?

It is more irresponsible to spend the time reviewing all of the code rather than spending that time on things with bigger levers for satisfying your customers.

yes but if a dev pushes a line of code that wipes the accounts of millions of users at a fintech, the dev will get fired but the CEO will get sued into oblivion. if the agent isn't responsible, you HAVE to be, cause angry people wont listen to "it's no ones fault your money is gone"
