Yeah. It can be a real challenge, ensuring quality on a team.

The obvious answer, is to hire experienced, skilled, capable engineers, and instill in them, the same reverence for Quality that you have.

Like I said, Quality is expensive. Very few companies like to pay the premium.

This does not work at scale. My company does pay the premium and a lot more.

It does, but it ain't easy. I worked for a company that did it at scale.
