Service ownership Memes

Nothing says "career advancement" quite like desperately pleading to avoid accountability. Because who needs ownership, code reviews, or the ability to sleep at night when you can just... not be responsible? The beautiful irony here is that becoming a service owner means you'd actually have to care about uptime, monitoring, and those pesky production incidents. Much better to stay in the shadows where your technical debt can compound interest-free and your spaghetti code remains someone else's problem. Pro tip: if you're begging NOT to own something, you've probably already written the exact kind of code that makes service ownership a nightmare. The circle of life continues.
