    I’m a dev and I hate releasing buggy code but I’m not in charge of testing or the amount of testing we do before release.

        I write unit tests and test my own code, but we also have UAT tests that are completed by others independently. Complex systems with lots of moving parts require lots of testing.

      I’m also a developer and I’m really big on optimizing database queries and having the right data indexed. When I review others’ code I’m being “nitpicky” when I point out that an index is missing. When it comes to query optimization I’m often told “well there’s plenty of memory.”

      Aren’t you though? I’m a dev too, and at the end of the day, I’m responsible for the correctness of my code, even though we have a QA team that also helps with testing.
