Having people thank me for being 'on top of' a problem that I already know about because I'm the one who pushed the button that broke it... It's gross. It feels gross.
Much happier when I can fix something quickly because I have some tools or logic in the codebase already that lets me do something quickly by being covered with sanity checks so I can zip along without driving us off a cliff.
There's some people who break something, realize it, just leave it as is, and cannot comprehend why you would think they should maybe help fix it... So I'd guess the praise is for not being like that.
