   If you want to know why software is getting worse: the current trend, for a while now, has been to eliminate QA departments entirely. This sucks, because I have a TON of respect for QA engineers. The ones I’ve had the pleasure of working with have come up with ways of breaking my software that I never would have dreamed of.

     Oh no. I posted about this on LinkedIn and the general consensus is “Well duh, we don’t need QA any more because we unit test!” followed by “and besides that, QA always argued with us that we couldn’t ship, so we’re better off without them”. I’m dying. Please help.
