John Oliver discusses how Boeing went from being a company known for quality craftsmanship to one synonymous with crashes, mishaps, and “quality escape.” Whatever that means.

Well said, and re: quality escape, it implies at least two errors. The initial mistake and the mistake in QA not catching the mistake (assuming there is a QA process). We’re fallible humans so we need a QA system to catch the inevitable errors. How tight the QA layer is depends on how mission critical the software or hardware is. A web app is going to have a lighter process than one where failure equals death or disability.

And a web app for accessing first aid resources should have a tight process.
