| 00:00 - 00:03 | Dear CEO, we fired few people, |
| 00:04 - 00:05 | the company is still in chaos, |
| 00:05 - 00:07 | and rumors are already spreading like wildfire. |
| 00:08 - 00:12 | We have to shift our quality to the left, |
| 00:12 - 00:15 | so developers and AI will do QA's work. |
| 00:17 - 00:19 | Wait, who exactly was fired? |
| 00:19 - 00:21 | Wait, who exactly was fired? |
| 00:24 - 00:26 | Dear CEO... |
| 00:27 - 00:28 | We .... |
| 00:31 - 00:33 | We laid off entire QA, |
| 00:34 - 00:36 | they'll be replaced by AI. |
| 00:52 - 00:58 | Everybody's out, except CTO, CFO, HR manager and Engineering manager. |
| 01:13 - 01:15 | Firing entire QA?! |
| 01:15 - 01:17 | How does firing whole QA improve quality? |
| 01:18 - 01:23 | And your solution is “shift quality to the left". |
| 01:25 - 01:28 | So let me understand this. |
| 01:29 - 01:31 | Entire QA is gone? |
| 01:31 - 01:34 | So now developers are QA engineers too? |
| 01:34 - 01:37 | Developers already have huge backlog and |
| 01:37 - 01:40 | and now have to catch their own bugs?! |
| 01:40 - 01:42 | Sir… the CTO says this is standard in modern engineering. |
| 01:42 - 01:46 | How will fewer people make us faster and better?! |
| 01:46 - 01:48 | Sir… the CTO says AI can handle testing. |
| 01:48 - 01:52 | Next week you'll tell me we replaced CRs with AI. |
| 01:53 - 01:54 | Let me guess! |
| 01:56 - 01:57 | CTO seen random LinkedIn post, |
| 01:57 - 02:00 | some self-proclaimed engineering leader said QA is obsolete, |
| 02:00 - 02:03 | and suddenly we reorganize the entire company. |
| 02:04 - 02:08 | That guy probably has never shipped production software, |
| 02:08 - 02:13 | Was it one of those posts with a rocket emoji?! |
| 02:14 - 02:16 | Because some influencer posted a diagram. |
| 02:17 - 02:21 | Did any of you actually ask the developers about this stupid idea? |
| 02:27 - 02:29 | Why exactly do we hire developers then? |
| 02:30 - 02:34 | To do two jobs for the price of one? |
| 02:34 - 02:36 | This is panic disguised as management. |
| 02:41 - 02:42 | Brilliant. |
| 02:43 - 02:47 | Did any of you even consider the release process?! |
| 02:48 - 02:53 | If QA was so highly praised and valuable yesterday... |
| 02:54 - 02:56 | why were they suddenly disposable today? |
| 02:56 - 02:59 | Why weren't they moved to other teams? |
| 03:00 - 03:02 | Instead we just fired twenty people. |
| 03:04 - 03:07 | Relax. They can’t fire all of us. |
| 03:14 - 03:16 | And this magical 80% automation… |
| 03:19 - 03:23 | And all those Slido questions pointing out our incompetence. |
| 03:25 - 03:26 | No roadmap... |
| 03:31 - 03:33 | Company is doomed... |
| 03:40 - 03:46 | We fired QA, make developers do twice the work, and call it ‘innovation’… |
| 03:46 - 03:49 | just to chase more money? |
| 03:53 - 03:56 | Push for better. |
