This is very insightful.

To solve problem (1), companies put process in place to capture patterns of the mistakes and prevent it for happening in future.

(2) is totally based on individual personality. (2) is an indicator of person having an ego and any amount of process cannot help.

IMHO (1) is also an indication of maturity and discipline. To give an example: a place where I worked 20 years ago had a team of 40-ish people contributing to the same codebase in a monorepo (perforce anyone?). The build would happen every night or you could perform it yourself on your own machine. The same 2-3 people were responsible for 95% of the build breaks. When this happens no amount of process is going to save you.
