That’s why I said it depends. If a billion dollar company decides to cut costs even more to gain more and more profits, they hire an army of codemonkeys in India and that is what you get.
If you work at a mid sized company interested in sustainable growth, you might get a software engineering position where you are the business daddy and if you say “I won’t deliver that untested” then it won’t be delivered untested.
I’m working at a company in Germany and we are leading in our field. I have one boss and he listens to what I tell him because he doesn’t have a clue about software engineering and that’s what he hired me and my team for.
Look into Agile, servant leadership and new work (the real stuff and not the garbage “hip” companies want to make you believe) if you want to understand.
It’s the old principles that kill companies like Boeing, because they think they can make big profits like it’s 1984 solely by pumping money into an army of wage slaves.
Look into “how a company works”, because that directly works against anything you say.
Not that I disagree with your ambition, I would like to only ship tested code. But if you’re working with deadlines and fixed budgets, that’s often enough impossible. I can’t even get a proper specification out of my clients, and even if they do, it’ll change in a week. You can be as agile as you want, if money runs out, there’s not much you can do.
