Rethinking Quality in Software
If you reward a team just for shipping fast, you can't be surprised when quality takes a hit!
Quality is a byproduct of your system—your culture, your rewards, and your incentives.
#BrowserStackTalks episode, David Burns sits down with Alan Page to discuss the shifting landscape of quality in software development—and where it often goes wrong. They discuss how systems thinking is underrated, the "hot take" that quality isn't testing, and why curiosity will always beat AI when it comes to solving problems. It’s a conversation about moving beyond checklists and the role of the "quality police"—and lean into context and better questions.
