Do companies no longer have Quality Assurance at all now? You don't even need like a whole department, just make it part of someone's job. This is crazy that there's no proofreading.
I know of 4 companies in the last 2 months that laid off their entire QA departments. With the expectation that product and engineers will pick up the QA work with the reasoning that you can use AI to be more productive and help with quality assurance tasks. Historically, in my experience, QA departments are the only ones that actually have any documentation and knowledge of how the product works... Better than the product department.
Replaced with Ai
Quality Assurance would happen after the AI.
