Isn't that exactly the opposite of the point being made? > software quality doesn't appear because you have good developers

• ChrisMarshallNY 1y ago
  Not really. Good developers are a necessary ingredient of a much larger recipe. People think that a good process means you can toss in crap developers, or that great developers mean that you can have a bad process. In my experience, I worked for a 100-year-old Japanese engineering company that had a decades-long culture of Quality. People stayed at that company for their entire career, and most of them were top-shelf people. They had entire business units, dedicated to process improvement and QA. It was a combination of good talent, good process, and good culture. If any one of them sucks, so does the product.

    It really is funny how any discussion of improving software quality becomes unpopular, here.

      Not only here. Everyone wants to use a quality products, but no almost one is committed to deliver quality products/services. No one is working on quality, everyone works on new features. There is usually no incentive to increase quality, to improve speed, performance, etc.
