I built a testing company and the irony is I still feel this every single day, when we catch something critical before it ships the first reaction is rarely thank you it's more like why didn't we know about this earlier as if finding the problem isn't the whole point.

started this because I genuinely believed quality was something teams wanted to invest in, and they do, but only after something breaks in production, the appetite for testing is always highest the week after a bad release and then slowly fades until the next one.

maybe that's just human nature but it's a strange thing to build a company around, the thing everyone agrees is important but nobody prioritizes until it's too late.
