You've been lucky, then. At half the companies I've worked for, there's that One Person who regularly breaks the build for everybody by checking in code that doesn't even compile.
This is 98% of why I push for continuous integration. I don't care about unit tests for their own sake, and I don't bother for my personal projects. I only want CI on a team so that when it turns red, there's an unbiased third-party building the code, and I can simply point to it and "the build is broken, please fix". Otherwise, I have to have the same conversation every week, and it always begins with "Oh, I don't think I caused that!"
