More than whether or not they "should" or shouldn't need on-call programmers, I am curious what causes the majority of errors that are encountered. Is it mistakes the programmers have made? Unpredictable interactions that are caused by the complexity of the software? Unexpected user behavior or interactions with client software? Something else a novice like me can't anticipate?
