Look everyone! We found a product manager for the Boeing 737 Max!

How was your tenure at Equifax?

Seriously, though... A workplace with this mentality has a high-turnover rate from burnout. Things keeps breaking, things are perpetually behind schedule, and a toxic work culture usually clouds the office. This perspective drives companies into the ground and pushes engineering teams towards mental breakdown. This is not a sustainable model.

However, there is a reckoning happening (right now) for all of these shitty businesses in the form of security breaches. Your lie "Quality is important" will bitch-slap you in the face when there are serious economic penalties for bad quality. GDPR is that reckoning and the US will soon follow.



Didn’t read past the 2nd paragraph? 737 max obviously doesn’t have enough quality to ensure customer success, so I agree it needs more quality.
