It would also be nice if we didn't have to resort

option to get the point across. One low-stakes way we can use to make
sure people are more careful is to have some sort of rotating "oops"
award. At one former job I had, we had a Ghostbusters Stay Puft doll
named "Buster" that was handed out when someone broke the build that
they had to prominently display in their office. At another job, it
was a pair of Shrek ears that people had to wear when they messed
something up in production. In both cases, it was something you had
to wear until someone else came along. Perhaps we should institute
something similar (maybe as simple as asking people to append "OOPS"
to their IRC nicks when they botch something).
