Again, that's up to management.
Let's hope they'll make the right decisions for the team.

@polotek @donaldball @galactus Nobody said it was.
What I've seen being highlighted is that engineers normally try to make sure those things are covered, but, because they are overworked and rushed, things do fall behind the cracks.
Often, when the holes are found, management would rather fix it later, never gets fixed because management wants more features, then someone else finds the original hole.
It's not neglegence on behalf of the engs but on behalf of planning that creates problems.

If the code is already loaded into test and the managers say ship, what can the engineers do?
You sound like you are the manager of have never worked in development before.
If the latter is true, you must have worked in amazing shops and I envy you for that.
@donaldball @polotek @galactus I agree.
The attitude taken by Polotek is giving “passing the buck to the engineer".
As someone who has worked on the engineering and ops side, the worker is normally advocating for security practices be put in place, but management says "ship it" because deadlines need to be met and they don't have to time to patch every little hole.
To assume that engineering doesn't have the customers at heart is insulting.

From what I've been seeing lately in regards to moderation on this platform, it seems like the #Mastodon stakeholders care more about growth than they do sustainability.
Why keep existing users when they just replace the ones that leave with new users?
Maybe we should stop making games hoping they'll succeed so that people could just have steady jobs.
How about we try that for a while?
