Yeah shitty managers exist. I was a lead when one of the engineers shipped a debug build that made it past App Store review. (Our debug builds were obvious). My manager says Mike (name changed) isn’t cutting releases anymore. I say Mike is cutting releases because he’s now the one person I trust on the team to not fuck it up. If you need it in writing so you can fire me if mike fucks it up, let me know. Manager mike and I all cut the next release at Mikes workstation with him knowing my ass was on the line if we shipped another debug build. Mike never shipped another debug build.

Only works if Mike has skin in the game. If every time Mike cuts a debug build we blame the process then mikes never too worried about it

  True. Most people have no skin in the game.

Did nobody say "fix the process" or "make 'cutting a build' automated with tests so that a human can't 'fuck it up'" or "have Mike drive that automation?" Because that would be a blameless approach.
