As an engineering leader, I learned that without clear code ownership, builders do not fully engage with the code they work on. This irresponsibility leads to technical debt and a fragile system where changes can break functionality due to a lack of understanding. When nobody truly owns the code, quality and efficiency suffer, as communication falters and the responsibility for bugs dissipates.
The case for transparent code ownership is clear: when builders cannot trace who is responsible for a piece of code, they also cannot trace the history of that code. This often results in recurring issues where the same mistakes are made because previous knowledge and insights have not been properly documented or communicated.
