Oh look: another butthurt QA person who is jealous because he doesn't make as much money as a prima donna developer! I've been writing software for decades that you are currently using every day. Guess how many units tests Linus has written? Zero.
That is because unit tests are useless and so is most QA/QC. Let me guess, you think Agile development improves quality too. By the time you have defined all your "unit tests" we have already built the entire system and have it running in the real world.
I don't hate it. I own a Fire TV and Fire Tablet myself which I use frequently. It doesn't change the fact they are market failures. The Echo is something that is "useful" for 6 months until the shiny new wears off.
Introducing more models just means "we messed up on the previous models. I hope you like this one better". Failed miserably is means NO ONE IS BUYING IT and they have likely lost tens of millions of dollars on developing it. Ridiculous. Do YOU know anyone that has one? It is the same with the Microsoft Surface. Ever seen one outside of a store? No. And they keep introducing "new models". I think they are up to the 4th now and the still aren't selling.
Exactly. These "stories" are posted by people trying to hype up amazons Echo. There have been a couple of them posted here, disguised as "news". The Echo has failed miserably in the market, along with the FireTV/Fire Tablet lines.

I'm just joking. I'm sure you are a better engineer than I am.
It must be nice working for the government.
You are right. I think we can all agree that we all hate OSX.
I wrote the part that displays banner ads when you do sudo.
I'm not hostile. I have two of them! So now they have sold 4.
Exactly.
Google is not a software development project.
You are right! Some esoteric JVM problem is total proof that Linux sucks. Thanks for the tip!
I didn't bother reading your treatise, but you sound like you are a blast at parties.
What you think is the "true" reality is really a Docker container running in a VM in the Cloud.
Monkey bars! Those are for REAL men!
Linux is more widely used than any NT or NT variant. Give me a break.
Shitty programmers are shitty programmers. No amount of unit tests and Agile development is going to fix that.
Is Linux a steaming pile of unreliable shit? No it isn't. Is Windows? Which one do you think has a large QA/QC department assigned to it?

Full system tests are good. Incense helps.
Unit tests are useless in any software project. They are used by people who don't understand the art of programming.

"Greg Kroah-Hartmant, the Linux superstar,"
Uh, what? There are only two superstars in Linux: Linus and the guy who came up with systemd.

You also own 5 Nest devices. You aren't normal. You just like shiny tech. That is fine, but don't pretend there are many people like you.
Great. 2 sales. Give me a break. You won't be using it in 6 months.
