    About a year or two ago there was this big change. They said we are “shifting left”. A hot new trend in the tech industry where we eliminate quality assurance teams and instead the engineers test their own code.

    Yeah, that is absolutely not what Shift-left is. Shift-left is essentially an implementation of TDD, and QA is still a vital component of that. I think you are right in that management used it as a scapegoat to fire people.

    However, if what you are saying in the rest of your post is accurate, you need to GTFO that company, fast. It’s only going to be a matter of time before the product craters from all the vibe-coding.
