This is an interesting article because it made me consider how I think personally as a highly productive programmer but also a leader at my company. Even if I didn't touch the code, I am personally responsible for it considering that I am the lead and have - or should have -reviewed it before it went out. If you go into the assumption that you are accountable no matter what, it isn't really a big deal. If a subordinate f'd up, then you are still accountable because you should have caught it.

Thinking this way is very liberating because it means everything is your fault, but.. you are human and humans make mistakes.. so that means that this is a learning experience. If your mindset is that we are constantly learning, no mistake can ever really touch your ego.
