Exactly. When I started my job 20 years ago, our company was waterfall, and my then boss (in his 50s) told me - never rely on QA, it's your responsibility as a developer to make sure the code (and product) works.
I think he was right. Today, apparently, he would be left.
"Left" isn't a personal label (like it is in politics); In this context it refers to having useful tests earlier on the timeline (where time in the development workflow is on the X axis).

I was just joking, I know what it means (to the extent one can truly understand a buzzword).
