Ask HN: Do your engineers or support staff triage bugs?

1 pointsby bobzimutaover 6 years ago
I&#x27;m looking for perspectives (or resources) on whether engineers or trained support staff should be the front-line on bugs. I&#x27;ve seen engineers perform front-line triage in both corporate environments and small but established companies.<p>The typical situation we have is a support member thinks there&#x27;s an issue, and posts this &#x27;raw&#x27; issue to Slack. The engineer on-call for the week responds and either resolves the issue or creates a ticket for follow up.<p>We could continue with this process, or train support staff to triage and submit formalized (repro steps, confirm whether widespread) bugs to the on-call engineer.<p>What&#x27;s worked for you? Please share rough company size for context.
