These job listings on @Tesla are incredibly ridiculous. @elonmusk, are you to tell me entry level engineers get compensated this low?

$70K / year is ridiculously low for STEM, but somehow they claim the pay is just fine.
They want more profit, simple!

Uh it's uhhh about the talent uhhhhh

are those "real" engineering roles?
"packing engineer" could just be what they call the r-slur they have make cardboard boxes out of flat pack kits.
QA are also a bottom of the barrel role and that is at 84k

!codecels does anyone actually respect QA?
wow you are really useful thanks for delaying my push to prod to push a bunch of automated tests that a real coder made for you
If you can do, if you can't teach, if you got rejected from teaching try QA

devs should be QAing their system using automated testing? both at the unit level, and end-to-end tests.
if u don't understand this please keep yourself safe ur just making the world a worse place with ur computational pollution.

I respect QA to the fricking degree they find things wrong with my/my team's code. So mostly no.
But the fricking best place I ever worked had no dedicated QA, but it rotated so each sprint one of the fricking engineering teams was fricking tapped as red team to try and break everyone else's shit.

Yes, but my last testing engineer spent a lot of time automating and brought us up to like 70% code coverage on a regular computing environment. He wrote most of the regression tests. I work in a field where QA stops us from being r*ped by feds.

I have even less respect for professors. Except the old as dirt ones who teach because they retired from the industry.

comp sci boomer professors are kinda cool, I also liked most of my math professors.
Very smart people but the type that would probably forget to eat

I worked IT at a university. We had a lot of cool professors, but our CS/SWE professors were openly hostile to IT and knew jack shit about it. It really sucked taking their classes after they chewed you out over some stupid shit.

They help catch some bugs which are neat but if you're competent yourself you'll be catching most of those yourself especially if your company's processes require unit testing before handing over to even QA.

QA has saved my butt a few times because they're too r-slurred to limit their tests to just the module being worked on and end up catching integration issues no one foresaw.

Yeah, the good ones are worth their weight in gold but most are completely useless. Developers are too lazy/arrogant these days to test for complicated edge cases or across boundaries so they just don't. The good QAs will expose all their errors.

If there is any QA they better be making their own test cases that meet contract requirements.

Only in companies where they don't make engineers write the tests lol. My first job at a multibillion dollar ISP we didn't even write unit tests lmao

Mine are good enough that half the time I don't even run the app after working a bug ticket, but they do need a lot of shit explained to them

QA is bottom of he barrel button pushers but they serve a very specific role of finding edge cases in real environments. QA in automotive is also unique in that the engineers drive prototype vehicles
