What of Quality?

I decided to post about something I've meaning to for the last couple of days. I thought it could wait a little, and surely it can. But, still, while I'm waiting for a response on a job offer I got, this is as good a thing as any to do.

Quality, nowadays, sucks. My experience isn't first hand, but I understand the newspapers have a product recall section which is, contents wise, substantial.

This worries me. Cars, of all things, are getting recalls too. Can you imagine buying an alleged safe car for your family? For you wife and children? And then having the company recalling that exact same car because the suspensions in that line are faulty? This is what Nissan is doing in Canada. I mean, dishwashers are catching on fire!

I blame this on the fact that people are too concerned about getting things done as fast as possible, without paying attention to quality control. Despite the fact that quality standardization has been such a big thing these last few years, product defects are becoming more and more common.

I could mention a lot consequence that poor quality control yields. I won't. It's been discussed many times and there would be no gain on doing over and over again.

I'm just saying; get quality done, not things.
