Another big problem not mentioned in the article is companies refusing to hire QA engineers to do actual testing before releasing.
The last two American companies I worked for had fired all the QA engineers or refused to hire any. Engineers were supposed to “own” their features and test them themselves before release. It’s obvious that this can’t provide the same level of testing and the software gets released full of bugs and only the happy path works.
