One of the things I love most about my current job is that at some point the whole team has been through the codebase, and no one owns anything. In fact, any one in the team would be hard pressed to tell who wrote what in the first place, even if they themselves did it. The result is that anything that needs fixing or improving is simply fixed, no questions asked, no feelings hurt. Once code review approves it it goes back into the communal codebase that we all maintain equally, with all credit shared. At some point, I've gotten to a place where I see it as a bad smell if you can tell a team member's code apart from the rest.
