Ok. So QA finds a bug. Who’s responsible for fixing it? The only value of QA is to try to make sure you become aware of issues before customers find them

Fixing bugs is a great activity for new hires. Gets them familiar with the codebase.

QA probably has their own promotion path that doesn't involve finding bugs. :)
