Exactly my experience, I know they vibe code features and that’s fine but it looks like they don’t do proper testing which is surprising to me because all you need bunch of cheap interns to some decent enough testing
No there is a wide gap between good and bad testers. Great testers are worth their weight in gold and delight in ruining programmer's days all day long. IMO not a good place to skimp and a GREAT place to spend for talent.

Site note: all the great testers I've know when my employers had separate QA departments all ended up becoming programmers, either by studying on the side or through in-house mentorship. By all second hand accounts they've become great programmers too.

They bring down production because the version string was changed incorrectly to add an extra date. That would have been picked up in even the most basic testing since the app couldn't even start.

Thats not true. Even for testing things, you need to do thoroughly now because standards are high.
I don't think you need any qualifications to run the app and realize that it doesn't run.
This is the bar we're at now.
From where I'm viewing, the standards in software have never been lower.

Sounds like a problem AI can easily solve!
