Exactly! Everyone owns the code. Collective responsibility is a wonderful thing -- literally speaking, it means that everyone has the ability to respond. It also means less scowling at other developers.

That's an interesting point about git blame. I think the term itself is unhelpful. Why does it have to be blame? Sure, it probably started out as a joke, and I chuckled first time round ... but still it sets the tone. Maybe it should be changed to thank. Or hug. Or compadre.
