- throwaway55421 5y agoProjects get reassigned over time regardless. It's not as if this is some strict 1:1 relationship, we obviously had more than 1 person with knowledge of / working on a codebase. It would have been an issue if 2-3 working on the same thing left simultaneously, but for more reasons than just on-call.
- maximus-decimus 5y agomaybe there is a big difference between my workplace and yours, but for me a lot of stuff never gets improved much after it's written so it's basically impossible to get up to speed until the person who owned it leaves the company and now you're she one fixing their bugs. Onboarding is just really hard on legacy projects.
