Ten years ago I was team leader in a small software house. When things went wrong there was a bit of a 'blame' culture - and to stop developers squabbling over fault I used to admit responsiblity - especially when the MD (CEO) used to come down looking for a head to put on a pike.

It got to a stage where I'd come accross a group of developers gathered around a PC and say "Its all my fault - what's the problem" - It got a little out of hand, and code comments follows like "Fixed developerX's bad coding". All very well for compiled code - but a customer found some comments in stored procedures and raised a complaint to the MD. We then had a long and protracted exercise in cleaning up all code comments (in both compiled code and SQL) to make sure nothing referred to individuals or customers.

The offending comment. - slightly changed here

-- Fixed xxxx's stupid mistakes. Thats what you get when employing an obvious donkey to do a real developers job.
