Episode: Honest Diagnostics for Scalable Engineering
Original title (Turkish): Ölçeklenebilir Mühendislik için Dürüst Okuma Şart
About the Episode
In this episode, we move QA beyond testing and explore how it reflects an organization’s ability to be honest with itself.
Dashboards are green, but teams are exhausted.
Coverage is high, but are we measuring the right things?
Is QA a bottleneck, or is it the company’s X-ray?
Topics We Cover
- Why QA strategy is more like a check-up than an audit
- The “Watermelon Effect”: green on the outside, red on the inside
- Misleading metrics and the illusion of control
- Invisible risks in QA-less teams
- The three layers of quality: process, structure, and function
- A surprising lesson from ants 🐜
Quote from the Episode
If you do your check-ups regularly, you won’t need an autopsy later. A check-up is cheap, an autopsy is costly. It means it’s already too late.
Karınca Açısı (Ant’s Eye View)
Ants don’t wait for collapse to act — they observe, adjust, and clean early.
Their constant grooming isn’t affection; it’s prevention.
Engineering teams should be no different.
Regular check-ups keep systems alive; neglect turns QA into an autopsy.
This episode reframes QA as a cultural mirror,
the foundation of scalable and self-aware engineering.
