Broken builds
Nightly builds are almost useless if there is no collective responsibility to keep the code in a buildable state.
Why should I even bother to make sure my code builds before checking in, when the build has been broken for a week and no one, who can/should do anything about it, cares?
Is it the responsibility of the ones who do care to be a PITA, or should we take it upon our selfs to fix all error just because we care?

[...] Broken builds sucks and it should be a cooperative effort to keep the system in a buildable state, but there has to someone responsible for the automation. Someone who verifies the build frequently. Posted by Johan Idstam on Monday, June 18th, 2007 [...]
