lol fundamentally the wrong mentality in software development. As a dev you are supposed to test the happy path at the minimum, before handing it to QA - heck most startups don't haven have QA folks .

Yeah, my company has QA but god damn if you outsource all your testing to them you're gonna have a bad time.
I've had to have words with juniors before which boiled down to "did you test this? Really? Because I can see that this code won't do what we need just by looking at the PR." And then I tell them to come back when they've got it working, tested, and with a test in the codebase that covers the thing they missed.
