You might think your "job" is to be a developer. It is not that simple.

It is bring any skills and abilities you can to serve the business and the customer. It happens that as the business sells software, that usually means it needs people to write code.

But: Software that is not tested is useless because it is guaranteed to be buggy.

Why: Because Developers have a habit of releasing software to QA that is full of bugs.

Or do you believe that all your code is bug free? Have you implemented automated tests that cover everything ?

What you also need to take from this is a chance to realise that manual testing is horrible and that if at all possible QA should be automated. So next time, you will know that none of the bugs are in your code, right?

You need to muck in and help the business succeed.

Common practice: Developers release software to QA that is full of bugs. Any dev worth their salt tries to do otherwise; not all succeed.
