If no one gives a shit about the ops team, having a "you build it you fix it" rule is just papering over a much larger problem.
In every job I’ve been in, I’ve been responsible for bad code I didn’t build and had no authority to fix it.
This only gets worse when one team member can’t and never will be on-call. Because everything is focused on “individual responsibility” anyone who isn’t “carrying their weight” gets singled out, instead of actually fixing the systematic problems.
It’s much easier to blame people and make examples out of them than to actually address the real issues.
