a missing link is that one specialized tester in a team every 5-8 devs makes devs a lot happier, makes test more robust and makes the whole squad more productive especially reducing regression over time by a lot, especially on fields where the code has to run on multiple platform and devs only ever use one.

it amazes me we're doing the opposite of the best practices by piling everything unto the mythical full stack dev, while the rest of the world moves toward specialization

this focus on forcing devs on writing tests and learning to test better is highly inefficient for all parties involved, both in term of output quality and time commitment.

and the first thing that gets cut when under time pressure is, in fact, testing. and a dedicated tester is resistant to that.

the real thing is.. almost nobody want to pay top money for a specialist so nobody wants to specialize in the profession.
