Great QA people are rarer than great developers, and potentially even more valuable.

Yes, QA and test engineers tend to have a better ability to specify the correct behavior of a system than anyone else. It's literally their job.

This is a big asset in the current paradigm where a LLM agent can effectively implement behavior only when given a robust test suite to iterate against.
