    You would hope with all the fucking AI slop code being deployed that TESTING and QA would be having a Renaissance.

    You would HOPE.

      The penny pincher companies that think they can replace a 80k / year dev with AI are DEFINITELY not doing any testing, my friend…

        Penny pinchers spending 200k a year on tokens to replace an 80k a year dev. Then they double the workload of the remaining devs as they turn them into code janitors for an LLM.

      Yep, we could have kept the velocity and used AI to make things much more robust, but no, let’s just throw even more shit at the wall.

      Quite literally you could set up a workflow where AI automatically fixes bugs based on QA findings unless it’s determined that an engineer’s input is required, but it seems nobody wants to do that either.

      Hang on, I did just get an idea for an AI SaaS to sell to enterprises lmao
