We examine the counterintuitive reality that strict code ownership, often touted as a way to reduce chaos, is actually a primary driver of developer burnout and organizational silos. Using recent data from Stack Overflow and internal metrics from major tech firms in late 2025, we break down why the 'bus factor' myth persists, how it creates invisible bottlenecks, and what leading engineering teams are doing instead by shifting toward collective code responsibility. This episode offers concrete steps for CTOs and engineering managers to dismantle these barriers before they cost you your best talent.
