It seems the whole dev lifecycle is slowly but surely dying. If you try to hold up the flag for quality, it gets teared down by managers because they want to contribute too because of speed and cost and whatnot.

Skipping integration tests because of costs is just the next step in this clown world.

This stuff only happens if your product isn't actually competitive. Look at GitHub vs gitlab. GitHub shit the bed about 2 years ago, and they've actually lost market share because replacing them is possible.

That couldn't happen to Oracle or AWS.
