Competent QA is awesome but super rare in my experience. Most times they are tasked with automating integration tests, their code is bad, they don’t know how to properly configure things, debug even their own code, solve problems. They’re people who couldn’t cut it as devs.
I’m sure I’ll get hate from the QA peeps for saying this.
Yeah bad QA folks abound. Also release engineer roles seem to attract low skilled folks like honey.
