> testing these giant companies do for features

I think they all got rid of QA, and developers don't have enough time to actually care about what they're building/fixing.

GitHub/Microsoft is incredible at this. The feature for selecting and closing multiple PRs was broken for weeks even after I and others reported it. I saw duplicate "A user you've blocked has contributed to this repository" warnings (two of them, one above the other) for weeks too before that was fixed.

I've stopped reporting issues as well, as it seems to have no effect on how quick it takes, so I don't think it's an issue of not being aware of them.

Yes! As a frequent user of youtube queues, it feels like they have a dedicated team of one or two junior devs to futz around with it on a weekly basis and zero QA, because it is always breaking in new, unexpected ways.

"Everything is broken" used to mean "all software is insecure because the inherent complexity of a modern software stack ensures it's beyond the abilities of the average developer to eliminate all attack vectors" [1].

Now it just means [2].

Google typically has very, very thorough tests.

I don't have any insider information here, but it's likely that the creator of this menu is long gone (it looks old!) and this feature is in maintenance mode. Someone--or a bot--just trying to keep the build green may have disabled the test without understanding that it was pointing to a real issue.

Or they noticed but cannot be bothered to fix.

"and we increased test coverage by 10% on Q3" doesn't get you promoted unfortunately
