If you believe this, it seems like you might also believe that it&#x27;s legally risky to fire a developer who rm&#x27;s the production environment. After all, they might bring a frivolous lawsuit for no purpose other than to &quot;get a declaratory judgement asserting the facts of the case&quot;.<p>(Incidentally: I don&#x27;t think you can just &quot;sue for declaratory judgement&quot; to enlist judges to settle arbitrary disputes; the judgement has to apply to a justiciable controversy. If the employer threatened to sue the accused for damages, for instance.)
