Why don't companies have someone in product development who's entire job is to point out less than desirable ways people will use their products, or protect against rule 34 or the like? The internet has been around long enough that it shouldn't have been a surprise that there were people who wanted to fuck a plastic lamprey eel. How as this even surprising?
Hire a 13yo boy just to look at your products and point out all of the ways it can be badly interpreted
They made a movie about that once with Tom Hanks. Guess these companies never watched it 😏
Red Teams, they exist.
Just like QA it doesn’t “make money” so why bother?
I would argue that QA saves you money. In that, it detects faulty products and in doing so limit liability.
I agree whole heartedly, the “it doesn’t make money” argument is common and the fight to do proper QA is rarely won.
The problem is QA vs QC. Quality control means you actually have to do stuff. Quality assurance just means "I assure you, the quality is good ;)"
If you don't have a QA you run the risk of having to rebuild the entire bar from scratch
QC detects problems. QA predicts, mitigates, and resolves problems. QA is the first to go when it's cheaper to scrap problems rather than make perfect product. QC goes when companies can outsource it to supplier-reported inspections and then leave it to the customer to act as final inspection. The Amazon method that everyone has to follow if they want to stay competitive
Because that employee would be by far the most overworked one in most companies?
Or maybe just because most companies don't care as long as you keep giving them money without costing them any 🤷
And HR would hate them.
The "Hey, did you know that you can Fuck this?" Guy.
I’d replace HR with that guy honestly
