| Jan 8 at 23:13 | comment | added | Foxy clc | Apologies, I didn’t notice your comment earlier! 😊 Actually, we found one bug in the entire release. I took the time to review the code thoroughly and completed the local tests I had initially skipped. Fingers crossed for a successful delivery! | |
| Dec 22, 2024 at 8:57 | comment | added | Doc Brown | What are the "complications with local testing" you mentioned? Some answers are already making wild guesses here what that means - can you please edit the question and clarify? Or are you still prefering to ignore my comments, as you did with the first one? | |
| Dec 21, 2024 at 11:01 | comment | added | Martin Epsz | What do you mean by "I would take responsibility"? If the projects failure causes money being lost, will you be responsible for making the company whole? If the product causes harm, will you be held liable? If the tech lead misses a promotion due to the project failing, will you be able to shield him? As a tech lead I would be very skeptical of anyone saying they "take responsibility" for problems in a project I worked on. | |

| Dec 18, 2024 at 19:35 | comment | added | John Bollinger | It seems unlikely that you are 4 times as productive as the rest of your team combined, even on a team of 2. If you're going to continue leading a team then you desperately need to learn how to leverage that team. Even if you're head & shoulders above everyone else on it, you need to make the team's projects team projects, not your projects, notwithstanding that yes, as team leader, you bear the mantle of responsibility. | |

| Dec 18, 2024 at 15:24 | comment | added | jcaron | What is the possible impact of a bug? It can range from life-critical (but I hope you wouldn't be in that situation if it were the case) to "vaguely annoyed customer". In between you have anything that can cost money, make the company lose customers, bad PR, etc. The amount of testing should at least be proportionate to the risk. This is probably a business decision, not a technical one. | |
| Dec 18, 2024 at 14:05 | comment | added | MisterMiyagi | This seems like a people problem, not a software problem. You know the issue is not having tests. You know the issue is fixed by writing tests. Yet you reject writing tests that you don’t have when given the chance. How is that an engineering issue? | |

| Dec 18, 2024 at 4:33 | comment | added | Doc Brown | I recommend to state precisely what you mean my "QA tests" - that can mean a lot of different things (and yes, I know QA means quality assurance, that's not my question). | |
