I would consider toxic a work environment where somebody would talk about "my code" after it's been merged.

In a perfect world, we'd all understand every part of the project as well as the next coder. But in my world shipping features on time is often more important.
I do not consider my work environment toxic at all. Just an agile startup
I think the “my code; my bug” thing is great because if you lead by example people will follow suit and take responsibility for their failures as well. I think that’s a great effort to move towards a more positive culture.
The underlying problem here wasn't really that someone "owned" that code, but that when someone else did have a useful suggestion to make, politics overrode technical merit. Clearly that had been happening for a long time and resulted in several other potentially useful contributions by others being wasted as well. This seems to be a problem of toxic management culture, not a flaw in the technical processes.
