You know it's never the engineers and always the managers even with software, right?
You know, I want this to be 100% true, but it's not.
I've been in software development for over a decade and while the managers are definitely high up there on the list of causing problems, I've also worked with enough shitty developers that don't care enough. Then not everyone provides the same level of code review, some people are pretty bad at it and just rubber stamp things, and then a problem gets through.
Isn't this t the manager's fault that those shitty developers are there as well though?
In theory a decent QA team will catch things being done by shitty developers. If your dev and QA is shit, management is shit for letting it happen.
Man I wish we had QAs still at my Mega Corp. They removed the role and saddled development with that responsibility (along with getting rid our our business analysts and putting that also on the engineer's responsibility list).
if they expect you to do a consultant's work, they should pay you a consultant rate
