The last place I worked was great. If you caused a bug and you were available, then you fixed it, because who else better understands the context you were writing in than you? We had a mutual understanding that a) the work is complex, b) given the opportunity you are smart enough to get it right, and c) sometimes people make small mistakes and that's not a disaster.

It gave you the respect of offering the opportunity to learn and be better, and it treated you like the professional you were hired to be by giving you full responsibility.

One of the bad dynamics I see with some coworkers is an inability to accept that they make mistakes.

I think it’s important for personal growth of the team for people to connect cause and effect in their actions. I cut a corner and it blew up. Oops.

CI was great for this. You break stuff and you find out about it while it’s still floating around d in your short term memory. Unfortunately “CD” as practiced has lost some of that by focusing on automated deployment and forgotten about the operational excellence part.
