Ownership of what then?

Ownership of the delivered code. This takes authorship out of the equation -- doesn't matter who wrote it, only matters who owns it and can be blamed for it. Not having written it doesn't absolve blame when something goes bad.

Ideally, but we know that LLMs will get the blame because of course they will.

Only if the owner thinks that's a viable strategy. Such an owner may not be employed long.

Ownership of something you have little control over is a great way to burn yourself out.

If you constantly have to push back against the eager puppy jr dev who’s 1000% sure their vibe slop is prod ready and has proudly told the admiring crowd of stake holders it’s ready to go, wtf kind of life is that? Now the senior/lead is the bad guy and is in the no win scenario.

Yuck.

Oh.

You just described my last couple of jobs

I guess that partly explains why I've been miserable and exhausted all the time
