We hired a guy with an English Lit degree as QA. He was super smart, and really self-motivated. He learned full-stack dev, and wrote a fcking amazing dashboard and test config wizard in like half a year. (This was before AI)
People at that point were complaining about tests being hard to run for YEARS.
He then left for a dev role at another company in a short time.
