This might work at a small company with a limited number of SWE’s. Every company over 1k that I’ve worked at that followed this pattern was a shitshow when it came to incidents. Not to throw it out the window, just suggesting that it isn’t as simple as it seems here. The accountability problems surface quickly, even in very talented software engineering orgs. And of course the only thing harder than convincing a software engineer to go on call is convincing a software engineer who was hired onto a team that doesn’t do oncall to do so..
