Tesla is recalling more than 27,000 Cybertrucks because the rearview camera image may not activate immediately after shifting into reverse, the fifth recall for the vehicle since it went on sale late last year
One of these days, an engineer, the best and the brightest of us, will invent a reason way for it to be technically impossible to fix in production. They will be a hero, and save hundreds of companies from bad decisions, and they will never become famous or wealthy for it.
You know, I want this to be 100% true, but it’s not.
I’ve been in software development for over a decade and while the managers are definitely high up there on the list of causing problems, I’ve also worked with enough shitty developers that don’t care enough. Then not everyone provides the same level of code review, some people are pretty bad at it and just rubber stamp things, and then a problem gets through.
Man I wish we had QAs still at my Mega Corp. They removed the role and saddled development with that responsibility (along with getting rid our our business analysts and putting that also on the engineer’s responsibility list).
Tesla engineers treating it like software. “Ship it and we can patch it in production.”

You know it’s never the engineers and always the managers even with software, right?

Isn’t this t the manager’s fault that those shitty developers are there as well though?
In theory a decent QA team will catch things being done by shitty developers. If your dev and QA is shit, management is shit for letting it happen.

if they expect you to do a consultant’s work, they should pay you a consultant rate
Ah you speak the truth. Fixed.
