Sometimes I wonder what testing these giant companies do for features.
A week ago Facebook's language translation broke. Results come back in the original language or a mix. How could no-one notice?
Something wore out from overuse, with everyone, including AI-training scrapers, filtering on “three years or older” to get non-AI output…
They probably also sent AI on bug hunting quest there too like they were bragging for Chrome...
I really don't understand this stuff. I've run multiple companies, this stuff would be fixed in minutes if it happened and very likely never get released.
Aren't they hiring supposedly top-tier talent and paying them top-dollar?
Surely they have a test suite and surely this would fail in that test suite.
I really don't understand how they end up doing such things.
I can only imagine that they hire a bunch of 22 year olds from prestigious schools who have never had a job pushing production code and convince themselves everything will be ok.
