Ok. So QA finds a bug. Who’s responsible for fixing it? The only value of QA is to try to make sure you become aware of issues before customers find them

The company, not the individual

And who in the company do you propose should fix it

someone hired by the company to understand the application and fix the bug

ive inherited a lot of code

Fixing bugs is a great activity for new hires. Gets them familiar with the codebase.

QA probably has their own promotion path that doesn't involve finding bugs. :)
