The QA is in the same boat. Because the goal is not set to an engineer as a person but to a department and team.

- crpatino 11y agoIf the goal of QA is not to be a hassle to Development, the easiest and cheapest way is to axe the whole QA department. And maybe outsource the whole operation to a tiny third party that will be never able to manage the workload, for PR reasons.
- ThrustVectoring 11y agoOne of the goals of QA is public relations - that is, to convince customers and insurance companies that "good engineering" is going on. You don't get good PR by axing your entire QA department.
- crpatino 11y agoThat's why you outsource them to the cheapest bidder. You have plausible deniability (I do care about quality, it's just those bad apples that deceived me as much as you), but in truth you were aware from the very beginning that they would not be able to cope with the whole package.
