So my coworker got assigned a task. She copied some code from some crappy site, without even bothering of getting rid of "John Doe" in strings or getting rid of unused functions.

She hands it over me for review and I discover that the code doesn't even work! She didn't even bother running it! Anyways, I knew that the task was urgent, so instead of sending her a review, I trash her code and write everything from scratch.

This morning I woke up with an email from her to the team saying that *she* completed the task. Sorry babe, but I cannot let you take credit for my stuff.

    @cst1992 I really have to agree here. But u could be even more diabolical and continue doing this for a while and then let her land really hard on her face one day.

    Think you did the right thing. I've been in many situations where one just cannot at that point in time treat the root issue of a problem and just have to get shit done.

    @cst1992 she shot herself in the foot when she sent that email. She even misspelled a technical term, hehe

    It's not really clear, does she *know* that you trashed her code?
