Jerry Berg explains how Microsoft's shift away from dedicated software testers to automated testing led to increased bugs in Windows.

Did you know I've made over 800+ other videos on YouTube? Hit that *SUBSCRIBE* button and watch another Barnacules Nerdgasm video right after this one! 🍿 Let me tell you why Microsoft Windows 10 has so many bugs with every new Windows Update from my perspective as a former Senior Software Developer (SDET) that worked at Microsoft on the Windows operating system for 15 years. Oh, and my PC crashed (BSOD) while uploading this video the first time which I found strangely ironic. πŸ‘‡ Discounts for my viewers only πŸ‘‡ Get 70% off NordVPN 3 Year + Free Month @ nordvpn.com/barnacules -- Use code 'barnacules' at checkout to ensure you get discount!

…to ever love windows again. Oh well, I guess I will be using Macbooks for the rest of my life. Which, actually, isn't so bad I guess. FWIW - I would say this is unacceptable on microsoft's part. Windows is the default operating system of corporate america, department of defense, etc. Imagine if an update would brick Wells Fargo or the US Army. 1 link to this video 2 link…

Whenever I see these kind of headlines, I expect some deep analysis of said topic, but it then it disappoints with your average article. With that said I remember Barnacules Nerdgasm talking about this and essentially it came down to MSFT relying too much on tests and not real-life usage1. 1 link to this video
