    Well…points to them for learning I guess.

    I hope thoae rehired senior engineers charged them a massive increase on their salary to drive the point home.

      Did they learn? If I was one of those engineers I’d be worried about getting sacked again after fixing the issues

      That’s what they want you to think.

      After this manipulative intro, the article is nothing but self-praise.

      Ford has spent the last few years with quality as one of their main targets to solve, seems that has worked?

      Props to them for doing something right.

    Those engineers demanded a 50% pay increase, right? Right?

    I know if I got told to fuck off and then they come around begging for my help, you know I’m going to make sure they remember their mistake.

      Why should they be so modest?

      I know several people who would never return to any company who has fired them. Neither for 50% nor for 5000%.

      I personally would think hard for 1000% or more.

        I would probably do it for 6 month’s income as a lump sum to fix that 1 thing. I wouldn’t go back on payroll that’s for sure

    some of our most experienced engineers have had experience solving and identifying those problems before they creep into the system,

    We’re moving from that find-and-fix mentality to preventing issues before they occur,

    Too much sweet cream on that cake… for my taste at least.

    Funny that the introduction of AI in software development generally means a shift into the other direction. As John Ousterhout called it, “debugging a system into existence”.
