Re: why blame the programmers??

It looks to me that we should address the very notion of "blame." This is a team sport and the team sinks or swims together. When there is an issue the team needs to find the best way to handle it. It can put incredible stress on one or two people if the rest of the team starts to lean on them for a solution. Instead, be supportive of the group (mechanical, electrical, softwre...) trying to solve the issue.

After the season is over, there is plenty of time for a "lessons learned' meeting to talk about what when right and what went wrong. This will help next season go more smoothly.
