Would you pay at least 2x for your software to have couple more nines of reliability? I’m gonna guess that “no”. At places where it costs $$$ to have bugs shipped to the end customer (e.g phones) or where there’re regulatory requirements they still have dedicated qa.
- bb88 3y agoIt depends. 1% of 10000 is 100. .01% is 1. If someone came up to me and said, "Hey I can save you 99% of expected costs with 1% of your profit.", I might go for it.
