I think the important point is to let go of ego issues. A bug is a technical problem, how do we address a technical problem? By being level-headed and not playing the blame game. Being sorry doesn't add any relevant information and generate a strange atmosphere, like admitting a moral failing really. Any matter of substandard performance is better dealt by the management, well outside the scope of bug fixing.
- catalogia 6y agoRefusing to accept responsibility for your own errors is more an ego problem than the alternative.
- jhayward 6y agoNo, elaborate insistence on repentance rituals, shaming, and ideologies of "personal responsibility" over systems thinking and data driven improvement is all about ego.
- joesb 6y agoI don't think anyone is argue for one instead of the other. Why not a little bit of both? Can we not think about system and data driven improvement while also at the same time apologize for our mistake?
