What happened to software quality?

  Yeah, software quality goes steadily down. MacOS 26 couldn't be installed on mac studio m3 ultra. How many computers does apple support? They could've tested every damn one.

  QA and SDET has been gutted as a role more or less industry-wide over the past 10-15 years. Nobody in charge cares about quality. Devs doing their own QA is like Boeing doing its own FAA certifications. Even with the best of intentions it's a setup for failure. Yeah a lot of QA teams weren't the best, but the solution isn't to get rid of them it's to hold them accountable and improve them. But that takes effort and costs money, easier to just cut them and shift more responsibilities onto devs. The results are predictable.

  > What happened to software quality? Testing is expensive. Since they won't fix the bug after is being reported, just let the user test it and wait for the (testing) budget to be released.
