I actually love being on-call, especially as a part of a "you build it, you run it" kind of team.
You essentially get a week to find bugs, fortify the application, and make it so that the next person has an easier on-call.
If everyone goes into it with this mindset, eventually on-call becomes a quasi-freebie week where you can either work on "fun stuff", or it becomes invisible.
Not to mention that no product can survive without love and support from its devs.
