Charity's been running honeycomb.io, a SaaS startup with millions of dollars of revenue, for 9 years now, after being an early-stage engineer at Parse, a mobile backend-as-a-service startup that powered half a million mobile apps.

And there are hints to what the author actually means, like "Each deploy should be owned by the developer who made the code changes."
That just isn't feasible in a system that's of any reasonable size.
