QA today seems to just be releasing software in whatever state and maybe fixing it later.

QA in large companies seems to be first to get outsourced or at best, contacted into temp positions. First to get mixed, too. It's the "skill-less labor" of the tech world.

In other words, blame the idiots in charge for not really investing in QA lol

Which is funny because you need a technical AND a creative person to handle QA.

Isn't it, haha. And yet I know a place that outsources it to slavic countries to save cash. I guess they're tech savvy, but as contract workers it's hard to say their dedicated to their craft.

Our QA manager is one of the founders of our company, so the work his team does is amazing. Doesn't take away I get a heart attack any time I get a message from him...
