    Ever since I graduated from college, I\u2019ve been working in a rising tech company for almost 5 years. I\u2019ve been working on some project and different teams, and it has been more than 1 year on my current team. One day, someone mentioned me that their service is down because of my code from when I was on the previous team and I didn\u2019t even touch that code for almost 2 years. I explained that I am in different team now, so I refer them to the current members of my old team. I also gave some suggestion on how to fix it, but that team didn\u2019t respond fast enough and eventually other person fixed it. Somehow I feel really guilty that I didn\u2019t do anything to fix it. My question is: Until when I responsible for the code I wrote? Is it as long as I\u2019m on the team, or as long as I\u2019m still working in the company? Please advise. Thank you.

    An external recruiter learned what would be on my technical screen from a previous candidate and shared that with me. Should I warn company X that their technical screen is compromised?
