Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?

If engineering owns quality, then engineering own all, up the chain. No need for anything and anybody.

Which is the AI pipe dream, really.

You are, in fact, with using AI, QA or coding or otherwise, externalizing services in hope the services will improve and costs will drop.

Let me know how that goes without HITLs.

If engineering owns quality, it ought to also own the liability, too.

That would put the damper on the pipe dream pretty quick. Probably more healthily than any data center ban could ever do.

If engineers were licensed, bonded, and liable, things would go very differently.

Applies to making bread or brain surgery. Sometimes things go wrong and people are accounted for.

But since CEOs, or any other bosses, need to make a living, they will eat the liability in exchange for wealth, and leave engineering in the dust.

Somehow hospital CEOs and doctors/nurses have managed to both eat the liability and make a living.

I think the same patterns can be applied here.

Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality ...
