    Have you ever noticed it’s always a limited number of whatever is fucked up? “A limited number” is corporate shit-speak for “significant problem.“

    Also, ensuring quality is something you do before you sell the product not after.

    Dont be GM’s beta tester.

      Every number is limited, technically.

      You wouldn’t want an unlimited number of broken vehicles, that would break space time itself.

      I mean, software issues exist where there’s software and testing on the inside gives you whatever time you pay for, but once your software is out in the world you get more testing done in a day than would have realistically been done over months of paid testing…

          Exact, they test for the worst cases they can imagine, but once it’s in the hands of hundreds of thousands of people or millions of them these people will do things the programmer never could have imagined…

            Like what start the car? Turn on the system. Did you read the article? The public isn’t catching edge cases, they’re catching gross system failures.
