Welcome Yahoo engineers to the year 2010. Or 2005. It's nice here. The suckiest part of this story is the number of folks who are stuck with gated handoff processes that can't see how this would ever work. Some of those folks might be waiting 10, 20 years catching up to the other folks. Just to be clear, QA the function isn't going anywhere. It's all being automated by the folks writing the code. QA the people/team? Turns out that this setup never worked well. I work with tech organizations all the time. I find that poor tech organizations, when faced with a complex problem, give it to a person or team. Good organizations bulldoze their way through it the first time with all hands on board, then figure out how to offload as much of that manual BS as possible to computers. If they can't automate it, they live with it until they can. Same goes for complex cross-team integration processes.
