That is true for outsourcing companies, but not true for product companies usually.

I think it's equally true for product companies. Do you know how hard it is to get a company to prioritize bug fixing over feature work? Shy of a user revolt, or a friend of the CEO reporting an issue, bugs are almost always second priority or lower.

Iโ€™d say this strongly depends on the industry.

In an entertainment or ad sales product, Iโ€™d completely agree with you.

In a medical or financial product, the bug will take precedence.

You wish it was like that in the medical industry, but it absolutely is not

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

I work in the medical industry. Any software that controls any device or reports any data used in the OR is absolutely treated this way.
